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 ...

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 ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School (Duke-NUS) have derived a structural model of a transporter at the blood-brain barrier called Mfsd2a. This is the first molecular model of this critical ...

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, ...

BioIVT, a leading provider of research models and services for drug development, today announced that it has acquired Santa Clara, CA-based Optivia Biotechnology and its comprehensive portfolio of ...

Citrate is essential for the metabolism and development of neurons. A membrane transport protein called SLC13A5 plays a central role in this process and has previously been linked to a particularly ...
