DeepMind and EMBL release the most complete database of predicted 3D structures of human proteins. Partners use AlphaFold, the AI system recognized last year as…
Researchers identify molecular cues that make developing neurons remodel their connections. At this very moment, the billions of neurons in your brain are using their…
To quickly express learning and memory genes, brain cells snap both strands of DNA in many more places and cell types than previously realized, a…
Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) have succeeded in creating the first genetically engineered marsupial. This study, published in the scientific…
A coronavirus related to the virus that causes Covid-19 in humans has been found in UK horseshoe bats – according to new collaborative research from…
A UC San Francisco study has found that the antibiotic azithromycin was no more effective than a placebo in preventing symptoms of COVID-19 among non-hospitalized…
Accurate protein structure prediction now accessible to all. Scientists have waited months for access to highly accurate protein structure prediction since DeepMind presented remarkable progress…
Enzyme with central role in cancer and type 2 diabetes also activates “clean-up” protein in Parkinson’s. When cells are stressed, chemical alarms go off, setting…
Vaccines that balance gut microbial communities may one day be used to improve gastrointestinal health. Bacteria’s role in gut health has received a lot of…
Results from a TGen-led international study suggest that SARS-CoV-2 takes advantage of genetic changes among patients with pre-existing lung diseases. The results of a study…
You’re as old as your immune system. Investigators at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging have built…
Understanding cellular metabolism – how a cell uses energy – could be key to treating a wide array of diseases, including vascular diseases and cancer….
Mammals have a poor ability to recover after a spinal cord injury which can result in paralysis. A main reason for this is the formation…
Bobtail and bottletail squids are tiny marine invertebrates that are found throughout the world’s oceans and are useful model animals for research There are 68…
New experimental data pinpoints a molecular component responsible for modulating the damage the flu can wreck on the lungs. The molecule, known as DAF, increases…
Proteins have been quietly taking over our lives since the COVID-19 pandemic began. We’ve been living at the whim of the virus’s so-called “spike” protein,…
Studies using human cell lines and tumors grown in mice provide early evidence that inhibiting RNA-binding proteins, a previously overlooked family of molecules, might provide…
As many expectant mothers know, getting enough folate is key to avoiding neural tube defects in the baby during pregnancy. But for the individuals who…
