It’s not pleasant to #shiver from the cold, but for some, it has the appeal of making the body burn more #energy as #heat than when staying in a warmer environment. According to several studies, exposure to cold is a reliable way to boost energy expenditure in mice and humans.

A new #molecule developed by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University offers a promising avenue to treat intractable cases of triple-negative breast #cancer — a form of cancer that is notoriously aggressive and lacks effective treatments.

Drugs to treat #inflammatory and #autoimmune diseases — such as asthma, psoriasis, rheumatoid #arthritis or #Chrousos syndrome — act mainly through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). This essential protein regulates vital processes in various tissues, so understanding its structure and function at the #molecular level is essential for designing more effective and safer drugs.

Before #cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their #chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of #genetic material. Until now, scientists had believed that as division occurs, the #genome loses the distinctive 3D internal structure that it typically forms.

#Lipids are fatty #molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and nutrient absorption. Most lipids are made in a cell #organelle called the #endoplasmic reticulum, but specific lipid types are shuttled around to different parts of the cell depending on their purpose.

Researchers at Umeå University have identified a key #molecular player that helps #bacteria survive the hostile #environment inside the body. Their study reveals how the protein #RfaH acts as a protective shield for bacterial #genes — and points to new strategies for fighting persistent infections.

#Water is everywhere – it covers most of the earth, circulates in the human body and can be found in even the smallest #molecular niches. But what happens if water does not flow freely but is trapped in such structures?

This study contradicts the more traditional #evolutionary view — on island-colonizing species, whose #genomes are larger and often have more repetitive elements — and expands the scientific debate on a major puzzle in evolutionary biology: how and why does genome size change during the evolution of living beings?
