Mutations that maintain fitness are vital for diversity and, for the first time, scientists have managed to experimentally show how extensive networks of these mutations develop.

By combining molecular biology with neuroscience, researchers have found that a well-known gene works to withstand psychiatric stress.

Researchers show that molecular interactions between pieces of DNA can drive the self-assembly of structures visible to the naked eye.

By mixing a polymer with protein, researchers create membraneless droplets that can mimic the molecular properties of how molecules move in the cell.

Loss of a protein essential for degrading mRNA from the forebrain of mice leads to increased appetite and the onset of obesity, a new study finds.

A study looking at pancreatic beta cells has found a link between a commonly found protein, a subset of switched-off genes and the development of diabetes.

Researchers study key neural receptor involved in learning and memory.

Scientists create artificial cells that can express distinct genes in response to specific chemical signals, opening the door to new ways of delivering drugs.

New “molecular transformer” changes shape and lights up in response to trigger.

Researchers identify a key structural feature of Rossmann-fold methyltransferases, a huge class of enzymes with big responsibilities.

OIST researchers developed a new imaging technique for observing individual protein molecules for a long time, providing new insights into how cells move.
