In a report in Nature, researchers describe the development of a neural network that “hallucinates” proteins with new, stable structures.

According to a new study, an important player in the healthy development of female embryos turns out also to play a key role in regulating the behavior of chromosome loops and gene expression in both sexes.

Virginia Tech researchers discovered that the bacterium that causes Lyme disease has a highly unusual modification in its protective molecular bag – its peptidoglycan, which is common to all bacteria.

Scientists have demonstrated that rare variants in the ANK2 gene, consistently found in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), can alter the architecture and organization of neurons, potentially contributing to autism and neurodevelopmental comorbidities.

Scientists have discovered a new biomarker to identify which patients with glioblastomas might benefit from immunotherapy.

A research team has uncovered a new mechanism to explain how obesity jeopardizes the functions of skeletal muscle and provides a potential treatment against the disease.

The complex shapes that RNA takes on as it folds upon itself could have untapped therapeutic potential in the fight against COVID-19. Researchers have identified chemical compounds that can latch onto these 3D structures and block the virus’s ability to replicate.

A paper has described how exosomes released by tumors manipulate the tumor microenvironment to favor metastasis.

A new body of work by researchers at the University of Chicago has explored the contribution of ancestry and associated genetic variation to the differences in immune response to influenza A.

Scientists have developed a novel biosensor based on aptamer-combined surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to detect inflammatory microRNA-122 (miR-122) in cell-secreted exosomes.
