A study from Würzburg reveals that pox viruses have developed a unique strategy to rapidly multiply after infecting a host cell. The findings uncover a previously unknown role for a well-known molecule and may serve as a ...
A protein particle hidden within the SARS-CoV-2 virus could lead to longer-lasting, more protective vaccines for COVID-19.
Biological condensates are small, membraneless organelles typically consisting of multiple proteins and nucleic acids within cells. They are involved in a diverse array of cellular processes but, despite their importance, ...
Researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have collaborated with the SILVACX project group at Heidelberg University to develop a therapeutic vaccination concept that can mobilize the immune system to target ...
Cells in our body are programmed to die after a certain period of time—a natural process known as apoptosis. This process is essential for maintaining the body's balance. When aged or damaged cells are not properly eliminated, ...
What if generative AI could design life-saving antibiotics, not just art and text? In a new Cell Biomaterials paper, Penn researchers introduce AMP-Diffusion, a generative AI tool used to create tens of thousands of new antimicrobial ...
Like bees breathing life into gardens, providing pollen and making flowers blossom, little cellular machines called mitochondria breathe life into our bodies, buzzing with energy as they produce the fuel that powers each ...
Mitochondria are cellular organelles that play an important role in making ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecular fuel that powers most cellular functions. These organelles originated over a billion years ago when a ...
Lipids are difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, a Dresden-based team led by André Nadler at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) and Alf ...
Since its release in 2024, the open-source platform BindCraft, developed at EPFL, has already disrupted the world of protein design. Â鶹ÒùÔºical interactions between proteins influence anything from cell signaling and growth ...
