Using a simple mass spectrometry-based urine test alongside routine imaging for patients with adrenal masses could speed up adrenal cancer diagnosis, improving patient’s prognosis and reducing the need for invasive diagnostic procedures.

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.

Toll-like receptor 7 plays an essential role in the defence against SARS-CoV-2

With an alarm code, we can enter a building without bells going off. It turns out that the SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has the same advantage entering cells. It possesses the code to waltz right in.

New evidence suggests that specific calcium channel subunits play a crucial role in the development of excitatory and inhibitory synapses and that abnormalities in their formation could be linked to autism.
