Machine Learning Builds Artificial Proteins That Rival Nature’s Own
By developing machine-learning models that can review protein information culled from genome databases, researchers found relatively simple design rules for building artificial proteins. When the team constructed these artificial proteins in the lab, they found that they performed chemical processes so well that they rivaled those found in nature.

sEH Enzyme Could Be a Potential Drug Target Against Alzheimer's
Researchers have shown that inhibition of the soluble epoxide hydrolase enzyme (sEH) in murine models of Alzheimer's disease decreases the neuroinflammatory process, thereby improving the body’s endogenous response and reducing the deterioration and death of neurons that cause this type of dementia.
