Many diseases derive from problems with cellular respiration, the process through which cells extract energy from nutrients. Researchers have now discovered a new function for a protein in the ...

From the tiniest cell motor to the grand sweep of Earth's carbon cycle, photosynthesis and cellular respiration form the heartbeat of life. These processes not only sustain every breath we take but ...

Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...

Cellular respiration refers to the breakdown of glucose and other respiratory substrates to make energy carrying molecules called ATP. Test your understanding of this process now.

A cell's identity is based on the genes it expresses, and scientists have been studying gene expression mechanisms for many years. But the process involves molecules that are too small to see, until ...

Understanding gene expression within the body has been a boon for 21st century biology and therapeutics, but most discoveries that use these technologies only focus on one organ or one small area of ...

Everyone who has played in a band or orchestra knows that playing in time creates music, while playing out of time creates cacophony. In an orchestra, each player may be out of tune when warming up, ...

Scientists have designed a molecule which, in living cells, emits turquoise light three times brighter than possible until recently. This improves the sensitivity of cellular imaging, a technique ...

In 2007, Ho Man “Holly” Tang took a break from her undergraduate biology studies at Iowa State University to join her older brother, Ho Lam “Hogan” Tang, then a doctoral student at the Chinese ...
