Many cellular functions in the human body are controlled by biological droplets called liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) droplets. These droplets, made of soft biological materials, exist inside living cells but are not enclosed by membranes like most cell structures.

Scientists reveal mechanism of maternal protein Pramel15 in promoting DNA demethylation in mouse zygotesDNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) is an important DNA methyltransferase that maintains DNA methylation. The retention of DNMT1 and its cofactor UHRF1 in the cytoplasm is considered a major reason for passive DNA demethylation in the oocyte and early embryonic development.

Scientists unlock the secrets of how a key protein converts DNA into RNAResearchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have uncovered new insights into the fundamental mechanisms of RNA polymerase II (Pol II), the protein responsible for transcribing DNA into RNA. Their study shows how the protein adds nucleotides to the growing RNA chain.

Disappearing scientists: Attrition and retention patterns of 2.1 million scientists in 38 OECD countriesResearch has been showing that women scientists continue to disappear from science at a significantly higher rate and in higher percentages than men. This is what social scientists have thought for decades—but this is no longer the case today, according to a study published in Higher Education.
