Plant cells use a complex 'hub and spoke' system to recycle organelles, involving specialized vesicles and molecular mechanisms. The discovery sheds light on the role of autophagy in plant stress tolerance.
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new approach to engineered T-cell cancer treatment, using adaptors to control the immune cells' activity. The technology has been tested in animal models and shows promise for treating multiple types of cancer simultaneously by targeting different tumor-specific proteins.
Researchers at EPFL have developed a new method for connecting molecules like drugs or polymers to thiols using the alkynes, allowing for quick and efficient alkynylation reactions. The breakthrough has far-reaching implications for chemical biology, drug design, and materials science.
Researchers have determined the atomic structure of clathrin, a versatile molecule that self-assembles into a protective sphere to transport nutrients and hormones into cells. The molecule's unique structure allows for precise regulation of molecular entry, ensuring safe transit and controlled transport.
