MIT researchers created a machine-learning model that can directly predict the complex that will form when two proteins bind together. Their technique is between 80 and 500 times faster than state-of-the-art software methods, and often predicts protein structures that are closer to actual structures that have been observed experimentally.

Researchers are calling for urgent investment in the prevention of a devastating emerging disease, non-typhoidal Salmonella invasive disease, that kills tens of thousands of people each year.

Scientists at The Wistar Institute have developed a more targeted COVID-19 vaccine that, in animal studies, shows stronger, broader, and more durable protection in a single, low dose.

Scientists have developed a method of producing vital chemical building blocks for use in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries.

A team has found that a compound contained in the medicinal and culinary herb rosemary could be a two-pronged weapon against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

Researchers have discovered what role the structures within biofilms play in the distribution of nutrients and water.

Researchers have identified an enzyme in the thymus that is essential for immune T cells to correctly identify threats, safeguarding them from going rogue and attacking healthy tissue in the body.

Lactic acid present within tumors acts as an energy source for macrophages, which paralyze other immune cells as they attempt to destroy the tumor cells, leading to immunotherapy resistance.

A growth factor protein produced by rare immune cells in the intestine can protect against the effects of inflammatory bowel disease, according to a new discovery.

Researchers have discovered where antitumor activity is housed on lankacidin C, a molecule that can be isolated from a common bacterium in soil. They are hoping to use the information to use the molecule as a starting point to engineer anticancer treatments.
