Changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found to promote tumor growth by increasing cancer stemness in an oestrogen independent manner. Targeting vimentin and/or the long ...

These and other discoveries have left scientists wondering if any off-world amino acids might have once helped life evolve ...

A question that appears in AquaSculpt reviews is whether lemon slices, mint, or cucumber can be added without altering ...

Rock and dust samples brought back to Earth from the asteroid Bennu contain organic matter and a variety of minerals crucial to the emergence of life ...

Proteins are biopolymers of amino acids (polypeptides), joined by peptide bonds, that are generated by ribosomes. The amino acid sequence, encoded by its gene, determines a protein’s structure ...

Scientists discovered numerous organic compounds in samples from the asteroid Bennu, including key amino acids, DNA, and RNA.

“Peptides are small chains of amino acids, which are the basic components that make up the proteins found naturally in your body,” reveals Wedgwood. She goes on to say that they’re very important in ...

Samples contain all five nucleobases of DNA and RNA, supporting theory that asteroids may have seeded Earth with life's essential ingredients.

Samples returned from an asteroid contain a surprising abundance of the basic ingredients of life. They were discovered to be rich in carbon, nitrogen and ammonia, with over 30 kinds of amino acids ...

Fatty acids are organic acids with at least one carboxyl (-C(=O)OH, -COOH or -CO2H) group and a long carbon chain that can be joined by double bonds, as in unsaturated fatty acids, or single bonds ...
