A comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes has just been completed and released. Researchers used large-scale evolutionary modeling to integrate data on ...

The researchers discovered that the flexible beginning of the Y2 receptor (purple) forms various direct contacts with the hormone NPY (green). The sum of these contacts controls which signals are ...

Most people rarely think about how they breathe unless experiencing respiratory distress. Yet emerging research suggests that the pathway through which we inhale and exhale – nose versus mouth – ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...
