The artist’s impression shows how the HIV capsid penetrates the jelly-like permeability barrier of a nuclear pore. To smuggle its genome through this defense line into the cell nucleus, it has evolved ...

A long-standing mystery in bile acid biology has been solved. Bile acids are often introduced as digestion helpers, but they are also powerful chemical messengers that help coordinate metabolism ...

In order for HIV to replicate, the viral genome must enter into the cell nucleus and integrate into the host cell chromosome. Previous work suggests that the entry proceeds through nuclear pore ...

The quest to overcome these limitations has driven researchers to explore synthetic alternatives, with DNA nanotechnology emerging as a promising avenue. The DNA origami technique, which allows ...

Using cryo-EM structure determination, molecular dynamics simulations, and electrophysiological analyses, researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

Around one million individuals worldwide become infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, each year. To replicate and spread the infection, the virus must smuggle its genetic material into the ...

Vitamin B 1, also known as thiamine, is essential for the survival of our cells. The human body can't produce it, but we can maintain healthy levels of this vitamin by eating foods like salmon, ...
