Touch a hot plate and your hand flies back. While the response is almost instant, researchers are still working to better understand the molecular mechanisms behind these sensations of heat and pain.
Pharmaceutical scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a novel chemical reaction that enables the precise functionalization of peptides and proteins. This approach could provide a useful tool ...
A unique protein designed by Cedars-Sinai Cancer investigators can cross the protective blood–brain barrier safely and deliver therapy directly into cancerous tumor cells, a preclinical study shows. The findings, which ...
All biological function is dependent on how different proteins interact with each other. Protein-protein interactions facilitate everything from transcribing DNA and controlling cell division to higher-level functions in ...
Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered new mechanisms underlying cellular adhesion and repair, findings that could inform the development of new therapeutics that boost cellular repair after tissue injury, according ...
Imagine a breakthrough in cancer treatment where only malignant cells are targeted, sparing healthy host cells; or patients with abnormal protein synthesis are treated to produce a healthy protein. Hiroshi Abe and his colleagues ...
Hundreds of different species of microbes live in your gut. In the future, one of these might serve a new function: microscopic in-house pharmacist.
Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a lipid nanoparticle system capable of delivering messenger RNA (mRNA) to the brain via intravenous injection, a challenge that has long been limited ...
An interdisciplinary research team from Leipzig University and the Saxon AI center ScaDS.AI has developed a novel approach that integrates artificial intelligence (AI) methods with biophysical modeling. This innovative strategy ...
In a pioneering collaboration with AbbVie, Northwestern researchers have discovered a new way to potentially treat cancer by targeting and removing harmful proteins from cells.
