The study authors were amazed to find this season-sensing ability in an organism that lives for only about five hours in the lab before dividing. “It seemed like a very nonsensical idea to think that bacteria would care about something that’s happening on a scale that’s so much bigger than their lifetime,” said Luísa , a…

From Hypothesis to Discovery: My Journey in the Biology Lab Aryan Sunam Pariyar Xavier Int’l College, kalopul “Lab work is a journey of discovery; embrace it!” Introduction I have always been intrigued by biology, especially the human body and its functions. While I found many topics in biology fascinating, practical work truly captured my…
The Electron Transport System (ETS) or Electron Transport Chain (ETC) is a series of protein complexes and electron carriers found in the inner membrane of mitochondria in eukaryotic cells (and in the plasma membrane of prokaryotes). It plays a crucial role in cellular respiration, particularly in the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency…
Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun were on Monday awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of microRNAs, a class of small molecules essential for gene regulation. This year’s Nobel Prize focuses on the discovery of a vital regulatory mechanism used in cells to control gene activity. Genetic information flows from DNA…
A New Era in Protein Science Pioneering Discoveries Shaping the Future of Life and Innovation The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to two groundbreaking discoveries that are changing the face of science. One half of the award goes to David Baker for “computational protein design,” and the…
