By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...
A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows membrane (green cubes), and ribosomes (yellow/purple) interwoven through in the cell’s chromosome (red). Right side shows all the ...
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...
By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell, from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division, scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...
A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function—it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional function beyond its role in energy production, ...

Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the cell cycle, which has been in place since the earliest bacteria. The ...
A metabolic enzyme also binds and unwinds RNA to promote translation of cell cycle genes. This dual role links energy status ...
