Cell division is a process of remarkable precision: during each cycle, the #genetic material must be evenly distributed between the two daughter cells.

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.

#Hormones are the silent orchestrators of the human body. They are the unseen #chemical messengers that, in infinitesimally small quantities, conduct the complex symphony of life. These powerful molecules control and regulate nearly every critical function, from our mood, sleep, and #metabolism to our growth, energy levels, and reproductive functions.

The study, carried out in animal models, reveals that the #thermogenic activation of brown #fat is associated with an increase in a #cellular process known as chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), which enhances the selective degradation of specific #proteins.

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.

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?
