Researchers developed a strategy to synthesize functional molecules with specific diagnostic antibodies. Antibodies are remarkable biomarkers: they are the cues that provide us with indications…
Study of individual SARS-CoV-2-like particle degradation suggests a potential surge of COVID-19 infections in the winter. Winter is coming in the northern hemisphere on Monday,…
A long-term trend of ecological improvement is appearing in the mountains west of Boulder. Researchers from CU Boulder have found that Niwot Ridge—a high alpine…
The ocean’s role in past atmospheric carbon dioxide change comes into focus. The last million years of Earth history have been characterized by frequent “glacial-interglacial…
As the deadly COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc around the world with no end in sight, new ways in which to stop the spread…
Scientists recruit new atomic heavyweights in targeted fight against cancer. A promising approach to treating cancer — called targeted alpha-particle therapy or TAT — could…
Protein therapies are often more potent and selective toward their biochemical targets than other types of drugs, particularly small molecules. However, proteins are also more…
Development of a microorganism that doubles the yield of biodiesel precursor production using genetic scissors and based on the principles of evolution; expected to reduce…
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread across the world, testing remains a key strategy for tracking and containing the virus. Bioengineering graduate student, Maha…
Experiments led by researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have determined that several hepatitis C drugs can inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 main…
Ants use their own acid to disinfect themselves and their stomachs. A team from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the University of Bayreuth has…
Rapid mental rejuvenation in old mice suggests age-related losses may be broadly reversible. Just a few doses of an experimental drug can reverse age-related declines…
Chemical compounds in foods or beverages like green tea, muscadine grapes, and dark chocolate can bind to and block the function of a particular enzyme,…
DeepMind develops AI solution to 50-year-old protein challenge, creating potential to accelerate biological research. In a major scientific advance, the latest version of DeepMind’s AI…
Inside every cell, thousands of different proteins form the machinery that keeps all living things — from humans and plants to microscopic bacteria — alive…
ETH scientists have generated a huge true random number using DNA synthesis. It is the first time that a number of this magnitude has been…
Scientists at Osaka University develop a label-free method for identifying respiratory viruses based on changes in electrical current when they pass through silicon nanopores, which…
For the first time, researchers describe how Rho protein really stops gene expression. New research has identified and described a cellular process that, despite what…
