Mechanism for control of antibiotic production in soil bacteria is visualized for the first time by scientists at University of Warwick and Monash University Research…
Salk researchers make unexpected discoveries about how a particular microbe influences animal behavior. As scientists learn more about the microorganisms that colonize the body—collectively called…
MIT study sheds light on the longstanding question of why cancer cells get their energy from fermentation. In the 1920s, German chemist Otto Warburg discovered…
When mixed with fluid from a nasal swab or blood sample, these protein sensors emit light within minutes. Scientists have created a new way to…
The hormone acts as a barrier against SARS-CoV-2, blocking the expression of genes that encode proteins in cells serving as viral entry points, according to…
Researchers from the Hubrecht Institute mapped the recovery of the heart after a heart attack with great detail. They found that heart muscle cells —…

A noticeable impact on the waistline of many people is a side-effect of the quarantine due to the global COVID-19 outbreak. Reduced activity and lack…
New computational tools developed at Stony Brook University help characterize protein structures and identify new treatments for COVID-19. In the last five decades, we’ve learned…
New study shows that proteins become biochemically addicted to complex interactions without adaptation. A new study at the University of Chicago has shown that elaborate…
The study, done on a mild-mannered relative of the virus that causes COVID-19, paves the way for seeing more clearly how spike proteins initiate infections,…
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…
Paderborn University investigated COVID-19 transmission mechanisms. The study results could make a significant contribution to combating COVID-19 and have now been published in Advanced Nano-Biomed…
