Every protein in the body is encased in a water shell that directs protein structure, provides vital stability and steers function. Because of this, water molecules represent a powerful but largely underappreciated foothold ...
Scientists have developed an innovative method to produce and rapidly analyze a vast array of macrocyclic peptides, molecules increasingly used in modern medicine. The research, published in Nature Communications, harnesses ...
A study led by a global research consortium offers new hope for patients with mycetoma, a neglected tropical disease. Researchers using an insect model and transcriptome analysis have unraveled the mechanism of iron regulation ...
Caltech professor of chemistry Sandeep Sharma and colleagues from IBM and the RIKEN Center for Computational Science in Japan are giving us a glimpse of the future of computing. The team has used quantum computing in combination ...
A new study from the Cellular Aging and Senescence laboratory at Queen Mary University of London's Centre for Molecular Cell Biology reveals how caffeine—the world's most popular neuroactive compound—might do more than ...
In 1977, the Nobel Prize in Â鶹ÒùÔºiology or Medicine was awarded to Roger Guillemin and Andrew Schally for their discovery and synthesis of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), a key regulator of reproductive function. Today, ...
From cancer to infectious diseases to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, there is an undeniable need for new treatments and medications.
Drug discovery can be a long and complex process. Medicines for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease are among the most expensive to develop, as animal model results have not proven to be predictive of efficacy ...
Penn-led researchers have turned a deadly fungus into a potent cancer-fighting compound. After isolating a new class of molecules from Aspergillus flavus, a toxic crop fungus linked to deaths in the excavations of ancient ...
Three-dimensional immunohistochemistry (3D-IHC) has transformed our ability to visualize the spatial arrangement of cells and molecules in intact tissues. However, traditional methods are often time-consuming and suffer from ...
