How molecular motors start the spliceosome
Researchers have now elucidated the steps by which the spliceosome is activated. They showed that two molecular motors switch on the cellular nanomachine.

Poorly insulated nerve cells promote Alzheimer’s disease in old age
Alzheimer’s is considered the world’s most common neurodegenerative disease. Researchers have now shown that age-related damage to the insulating layer around nerve cells, called myelin, actively promotes Alzheimer’s-related changes in the brain.

Shaw Prize for Patrick Cramer
Patrick Cramer shares the high honor in the life sciences with Eva Nogales from the University of California at Berkeley. Both have contributed significantly to the structural biological elucidation of gene transcription, one of the fundamental processes of life.
