Sentences with phrase «which cellular machinery»

In fact, they found that TGF - β halts both the transcription of the p53 gene - the process by which cellular machinery reads the DNA code for a gene - and the subsequent process by which the corresponding p53 protein is produced, known as translation.

Not exact matches

How would something like DNA which is information decoded by cellular machinery prove that it all came about by accident?

Last, the investigation of informational processing and cellular machineries have revealed that genomes of Asgard archaea, which affiliate with eukaryotes in the tree of life (see the figure), encode proteins that they only share with eukaryotes.

This typical, casual canteen chat only partly reveals the facility's successful lab culture, which encouraged Ramakrishnan to focus on understanding the ribosome, the cellular machinery that turns RNA into protein.

Dengue virus and Zika virus are both positive - strand RNA flaviviruses, which means that once a virus particle infects a cell, its RNA genome can be immediately translated by cellular machinery into viral proteins to make new virus particles and spread the infection.

French scientists have learned how Listeria monocytogenes, which causes a major food - borne illness, commandeers cellular transport machinery to invade cells and hide from the body's immune system...

However, these two life - sustaining processes, which often unfold simultaneously on the strands of DNA, pose a spatial quandary: The cellular machinery that replicates DNA and the one that transcribes genes can collide head - on, destabilizing the genome with disastrous consequences.

With the edits made, the team starts to assemble edited, synthetic DNA sequences into ever larger chunks, which are finally introduced into yeast cells, where cellular machinery finishes building the chromosome.

Now, a research team headed by investigators from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is the first to identify a mechanism by which influenza A, a family of pathogens that includes the most deadly strains of flu worldwide, hijacks cellular machinery to replicate.

GERBER: Another example is high - speed AFM, which biologists use to see the cellular machinery in action.

Our goal is to identify conserved signaling mechanisms through which the nervous system may exert its control over the cellular protective machinery.

My research is framed within the Wellcome Trust consortium on the archaeal origins of eukaryotic cell organization (http://evocyt.com/), which includes a diverse group of researchers studying the evolution of eukaryotic machinery from different points of view — e.g. how do specific cellular systems work in different lineages, and how did that affect the origin of the eukaryotic cell plan?

But just to simplify, it is in these fireworks inside the mitochondria, where the oxygen we breathe may get a hold of an electron we ate that was pumped with energy by plants (thanks to photosynthesis), and transform that oxygen molecule into what's called superoxide, which can damage our delicate cellular machinery — oxidize our cellular machinery.

Generation of reactive oxygen species, or free radicals such as superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, is a normal byproduct of metabolism, but can damage cellular machinery when excessive and impair the production of cellular energy, which becomes a vicious cycle as energy - intensive repair processes become untenable (25, 26).
