Scripps Research Institute scientists convert human skin cells into sensory neurons
New TSRI study shows how brain maps develop to help us perceive the world.
Mimicking natural evolution in a test tube, scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have devised an enzyme with a unique property that might have been crucial to the origin of life on Earth.
Method expands options for making pure batches of ‘one-handed’ molecules.
In a new study that could ultimately lead to many new medicines, scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have adapted a chemical approach to turn diseased cells into unique manufacturing sites for molecules that can treat a form of muscular dystrophy.
Study also confirms presence of genetic variation in alcohol-dependent patient population.
The findings open a doorway on an unexplored chemical galaxy containing vast numbers of new molecules for making drugs, plastics and unprecedented smart materials.
Laboratories at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) are investigating antibodies to fight Ebola virus, including the three antibodies recently used to treat two American health care workers infected with the Ebola virus.
The previously unrecognized layer of biology could offer new drug targets.
The current nonbinding letter of intent on discussions about a broad partnership between the University of Southern California (USC) and The Scripps Research Institute has been terminated by mutual consent of both parties.
Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have engineered a bacterium whose genetic material includes an added pair of DNA “letters,” or bases, not found in nature. The cells of this unique bacterium can replicate the unnatural DNA bases more or less normally, for as long as the molecular building blocks are supplied.
Johnson & Johnson Innovation is first collaborator.
As the United States continues to lead the world in the production of natural gas, scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have devised a new and more efficient method with the potential to convert the major components found in natural gas into useable fuels and chemicals—opening the door to cheaper, more abundant energy and materials with much lower emissions.
Scientists Invent Breakthrough Approach to Quickly Identify New Drug Candidates from Genome Sequence
As proof-of-principle, the team designs potent anti-cancer compound.
Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have demonstrated the power of a new drug discovery technique, which allows them to find—relatively quickly and cheaply—antibodies that have a desired effect on cells. The TSRI scientists used the technique to discover two antibodies that protect human cells from a cold virus.
