  • Unraveling the handiwork of a potentially gene-scrambling virus

    The University of Tokyo

    The first genomic study of a virus-infected tumor cells reveals widespread genetic change as a result of the infection

  • Revealing a protein’s pull

    The University of Tokyo

    A membrane-bound protein complex helps export bacterial cargoes by hauling them along with a proton-powered ratchet

  • Breaking the circle

    The University of Tokyo

    Protein domains that help assemble a chromosome-encircling ring structure also contribute to more sophisticated rearrangements that enable this complex to function properly

  • Signaling malignancy

    The University of Tokyo

    The degree of malignancy of testicular tumors may be associated with the level of androgen signaling
