Medicinal plants produce a wide range of bioactive compounds, yet the genetic and evolutionary mechanisms underlying their ...

Enzymatic biofuel cells can act as self-powered wearable biosensors by converting chemicals in body fluids into electricity; however, manufacturing challenges have prevented their widespread adoption.

Mitochondria were found to draw oxygen from chloroplasts, modifying photosynthesis and stress responses. When stressed, mitochondria can reduce ...

A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an interaction not previously ...

Enzymatic biofuel cells can act as self-powered wearable biosensors by converting chemicals in body fluids into electricity; ...

From the 1950s to 1970s, discovery of enzymes began by identifying new chemical reactions within cell-free extracts, but ...

Frances Arnold's game-changing technique of "directed evolution" creates enzymes with unusual capabilities. Her own evolution made it possible.

A protein reinforces the blood–brain barrier, which becomes leaky with age. Exercise prevents brain ageing and memory loss by strengthening the blood–brain barrier, the structure that keeps harmful ...

Karthik Sankaranarayanan trained in two quite different scientific subfields as a graduate student and as a postdoctoral ...

Bio-based polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are considered one of the most promising sustainable alternatives to fossil-derived plastics. Poly[(D-lactate)-co-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (LAHB) is an ...

Protective Effects of Vitamin D in Necrotizing Enterocolitis of Preterm Infants: From Basic Research to Clinical Translation. Journal of Biosciences and Medicines, 14, 42-56. doi: ...

Nanozymes are functional nanomaterials, such as metal oxides, with enzyme-like properties. Their ability to produce reactive oxygen species like hydroxyl (• OH) radicals makes them especially useful ...
