Scientists build a synthetic metabolism that converts CO2-derived formate into valuable chemicals outside living cells.

In a breakthrough that defies nature, Northwestern University and Stanford University synthetic biologists have created a new ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy production and nucleotide synthesis are taking on unexpected "second jobs" within ...

Scientists have identified a small flaw in the enzyme GPX4 that prevents neurons from defending themselves. This mutation, ...

Researchers discovered that a tiny structural feature of the enzyme GPX4 helps keep neurons safe. A rare mutation removes this protection, allowing harmful molecules to damage cell membranes and ...

Konstanz researchers identify an enzyme that plays a role in the migration of cells in our body—not only during normal tissue formation and wound healing, but also when tumor cells metastasize. This ...

Scientists have traced a devastating pattern of brain cell loss in a handful of families to a single, ultra-rare mutation that sabotages one of the brain’s key protective enzymes. The discovery not ...

Lymphomas belong to the group of malignant diseases of the immune system and mainly affect the organs of the lymphatic system. Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) belongs to the subgroup of ...

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...

As a proof of concept, the engineers then used the same system to convert acetyl-CoA into malate, a commercially valuable ...
