Modified transfer RNAs—cellular DJs for tuning metabolites
Every living cell is no less than a party, with a team of highly trained Disc jockeys (DJs). When major events such as cell division or nutrient droughts happen, these molecular DJs create just the right mix of metabolites and proteins to ensure a seamless transition from one state to another. So, who are these […]
Study reveals metabolic constraints that control how groups of cells specialise and become interdependent
The question of how life arose on earth has always intrigued us. In particular, the question of how unicellular organisms transition into multicellular forms of life, has inspired the work of several scientists across the globe. Multicellular systems have hallmark features like division of labour and spatial organisation of cells. But how do genetically identical […]
