Life on Mars? Tiny cells just survived shock waves and toxic soil
5+ mon, 1+ day ago (437+ words) To better understand whether life could endure such conditions, scientists are turning to simple organisms on Earth. Why Scientists Study Yeast to Understand Survival Two key types of RNP condensates are stress granules and P-bodies. Both play roles in managing…...
Asteroid Bennu reveals a new pathway to life’s chemistry
7+ mon, 1+ day ago (631+ words) New research led by scientists at Penn State suggests that at least some of Bennu's amino acids may have originated in extremely cold, radioactive conditions during the earliest stages of the solar system. The findings were published on Feb. 9 in…...
Tiny protein pairs may hold the secret to life’s origin
11+ mon, 3+ week ago (556+ words) Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function. But how and why did it come to be the way it is? A recent study from the…...
A hidden mechanism changes what we know about cell division
9+ mon, 3+ day ago (827+ words) A companion study showed that centromeres, small structures on chromosomes once believed to work on their own, play a guiding role in directing CENP-E so it can help the division process unfold correctly. Together, these results overturn two decades of…...

Scientists discover “molecular shredder” that helps deadly parasite evade the immune system
5+ mon, 1+ week ago (583+ words) To survive inside the human bloodstream, the African trypanosome parasite covers itself with a protective layer made of proteins called variant surface glycoproteins (VSG). A study published in Nature Microbiology has now identified a key protein that allows the parasite…...
