Ribosomes manufacture the proteins that underlie nearly every biological function. Understanding exactly how they are assembled would reveal fundamental principles about how life itself is maintained.
Researchers have identified how the architecture of brain circuits helps different species flexibly adapt to new mating signals across evolutionary timeframes.
An autoimmune condition makes certain people much more susceptible to West Nile virus and many other severe viral diseases. In the future, a screening process could reveal if you’re at risk.
New research solves the mystery of how two different types B cells work in tandem to fight off re-infections, with implications for vaccine boosting strategies.
New findings on how past viral respiratory infections affect future, unrelated ones could lead to therapies for boosting general antiviral immunity—and potentially better pandemic preparedness.
The new programming, which spans the full month of September, is designed to teach essential skills and ground students in different research opportunities before lab rotations begin.
His work has been crucial for the development of new antibiotics, which are urgently needed in a world where multi-resistant superbugs are a major threat to public health.
Mojsov’s discovery of GLP-1 and its critical role in the regulation of insulin secretion and blood glucose led to the development of a revolutionary new class of medicines.
New study demonstrates that one type of lipid is so critical for immune evasion that certain cancers cannot proliferate without them. Modulating intake of dietary lipids could open up an avenue for treatment.
The study explains why treatments for many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases raise the risk of contracting TB—and also upends long-held assumptions about what kicks off an immune response.
A Rockefeller employee since 2001, Chin will be missed by many in the community who came to rely on his deep technical expertise and graceful approach to problem solving.
Hyperactivity, repetitive behavior, and language deficits all appeared in the mice, highlighting an unexpected role the cerebellum seems to play in autism.
Researchers found a “neuro-cancer axis” that may promote the spread of breast cancer. They also found that an FDA-approved anti-nausea medication may prevent it.
Students in the BIOGROW program participate in professional development and community building events in collaboration with the university's Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Victora, who studies how antibodies are generated in response to infection and immunization, is among 26 scientists nationwide to receive this designation.
Four community members—Sadye Paez, Elizabeth Campbell, Yuriria Vázquez, and Chad Morton—were recognized for their advocacy work both within the university and in the wider scientific community.
A novel platform for identifying metabolic gene functions has already revealed interactions between proteins and metabolites that are fundamental to cell metabolism.
