Research reveals how mitochondria keep their reactive oxygen species production in check
Mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, convert sustenance into energy, fueling the cell's activities. In addition to power, mitochondria also produce reactive oxygen species, byproduct molecules primed to help facilitate communication among the other...
How otters’ muscles enable their cold, aquatic life
Texas A&M researchers found that the small mammals are internally warmed by thermogenic leak from their skeletal muscle, which elevates their metabolic rate

Study Uncovers How Some COVID-19 Vaccines Cause Blood Clots
A team of researchers has uncovered how COVID-19 vaccines that use adenovirus vectors trigger a rare, but sometimes fatal, blood clotting reaction called vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT). The findings will likely have both...
Researchers determine the structure of nanomachine essential for functioning of mTOR
The principle that form follows function does not only apply to design and architecture. It also applies to biology. Every organism is a universe that lives thanks to the activities of tens of thousands...
Common anti-coagulant drug could treat emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2
QUT PhD researcher Zachariah Schuurs said the research team had identified a new binding site on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. "Binding of the CoV-2 spike protein to heparan sulphate (HS) on cell surfaces is...
