Previously unrecognized control point identified as target for drugs that block transition. A new study led by University of California, Irvine researchers is the first…
Human feces don’t usually stick around for long—and certainly not for thousands of years. But exceptions to this general rule are found in a few…
New “reporter viruses” developed by Texas Biomed researchers make it much easier to observe SARS-CoV-2 and its variants in cells and live animals in the…
Experimental treatment dissolves antibiotic-resistant biofilms in mice. Researchers at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) and Pulmobiotics S.L have created the first ‘living medicine’ to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria growing…
Scientists in Montreal discover a new enzymatic complex that can stop cells from aging, opening the way to possible new cancer therapies. Researchers at Université…
The most comprehensive analysis of the 3D structure of SARS-CoV-2 to date has revealed new insight on how the virus infects human cells and replicates….
Blue light is illuminating new understanding of a key signaling pathway in embryo development, tissue maintenance, and cancer genesis. Researchers at the University of Illinois…
The second week of gestation represents a critical stage of embryo development, or embryogenesis. Failure of development during this time is one of the major…
A structural model of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein as the virus fuses with host human cells reveals an opportunity to disrupt dynamics and halt transmission….
Scientists have repurposed the genetic modification technology CRISPR to identify antibodies in patient blood samples in a move that could inspire a new class of…
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…
