Discovery of cellular mechanisms could open door to more effective anti-aging therapies

Scientists do not know the importance of LD motifs or how many other types of proteins contain them; a new machine learning approach could help unlock their secrets

UNC School of Medicine scientists led by Eva Anton, PhD, found that defective primary cilia can modulate connectivity between neurons during brain development and cause rare neurodevelopmental conditions called Joubert syndrome-related disorders

The interferometry technique has applications for tracking molecules at a cell or tissue scale

Technique developed at Human Genome and Stem Cell Research Center, funded by FAPESP and hosted by the University of São Paulo, produced hepatic tissue in the laboratory in only 90 days and could become an alternative to organ transplantation in future

Understanding compulsive drinking in some people relies on identifying the neural pathway that keeps drinking in check

Discovery promises to aid production of protein-based drugs, vaccines, other biomaterials

A recent study was initially inspired by the way our cells transport water throughout the body and began as an attempt to develop artificial channels for transporting water across membranes

The method, called 'scPred,' has the potential to allow earlier detection of cancer, identify the cells at the root of autoimmune disease, and help personalize treatments to individual patients

Princeton researchers have developed new computational and experimental tools to identify microbial small molecules encoded in clinical samples, allowing scientists to explore microbial-host interactions and to mine the human microbiome for drug discovery
