With overlapping focuses on Biological Chemistry, Chemical Biology, and Molecular Pharmacology, our research group takes the reductionist approach when dissecting biological processes at the ...

Analysing post-translational modifications of histone proteins as they occur within chromatin is challenging due to their large number and chemical diversity. A major step forward has now been ...

Chemical and genetic approaches are extensively used to probe living systems at the subcellular level and to advance therapeutic target discovery. The 2006 American Society for Cell Biology meeting ...

Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) are single-stranded molecules that play an essential role in the cells of all living organisms. As "transcripts" of our genes, mRNAs, for example, are involved in the ...

All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Imagine packing all ...

Rejuvenation by age reversal can be achieved, not only by genetic, but also chemical means. Molecules that reverse cellular aging and rejuvenate human cells without altering the genome. Sinclair and ...

Imagine being able to look inside a single cancer cell and see how it communicates with its neighbors. Scientists are celebrating a new technique that lets them study the fatty contents of cancer ...

Chemists from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are testing the limits of analytical chemistry by rapidly detecting subtle changes in cellular chemistry in an effort to boost early disease ...

Dr. Lucas Sullivan’s first interest was chemistry: He wanted to understand how matter and energy are used to make up our chemical world. How do molecules transition and transform to make this possible ...

If there’s one thing that most folks will remember from even just high school biology class, it’s that the mitochondria is the “powerhouse of the cell.” Why? Because it creates ATP, a cellular ...

Imagine packing all the people in the world into the Great Salt Lake in Utah — all of us jammed shoulder to shoulder, yet also charging past one another at insanely high speeds. That gives you some ...
