Emeritus Professor of Molecular and Integrative Physiology Rhanor Gillette and colleagues have found that a type of predatory sea slug that usually isn’t picky when it comes to what it eats has more complex cognitive abilities than previously thought, allowing it to learn the warning cues of...

Professor of Molecular and Integrative Physiology Ann M. Nardulli and colleagues at the University of Illinois and the Mayo Clinic have created a new technique for identifying methylated DNA, a modification to our genetic material that has been shown to correlate with the disease severity and...

William Bruce, Caroline Johnson, and Keith Whitlock, outstanding students from the School of Molecular and Cellular Biology, have been selected for three of the five slots specifically reserved for University of Illinois students in the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program at the...

In a new finding published in Nature Chemical Biology, Research Scientist Gisela Cymes and Associate Professor of Molecular and Integrative Physiology, Biophysics, and Neuroscience Claudio Grosman applied single-molecule electrophysiology to elucidate the properties of the ring of acidic side...

A team including corresponding author Associate Professor of Molecular and Integrative Physiology Jongsook Kim Kemper has identified a key molecular player in a chain of events in the body that can lead to fatty liver disease, Type II diabetes and other metabolic abnormalities associated with...

Although cellular metabolic (redox) state has long been associated with a housekeeping role, recent research from a team lead by Martha Gillette, and including the Lee Cox and Jonathan Sweedler groups, provides new insights on cellular redox states, linking them to the intrinsic daily (circadian)...
