Focused ultrasound can allow CRISPR gene editing to be precisely targeted and controlled remotely.

Researchers have used cryo-electron tomography to uncover new details of the molecular structure of synaptic vesicles, which help transport neurotransmitters in the brain.

A new approach to targeting a protein involved in cell division, which can misfunction in cancer, has revealed new insights into how it functions.

A study identifies "proteolethargy," reduced protein mobility caused by oxidative stress, as a unifying mechanism in chronic diseases. The findings suggest that impaired protein movement disrupts cellular functions.

Researchers have shed new light on the biological processes behind neural cell development, which is fundamental for understanding neurodevelopmental disorders.

Researchers developed an AI-powered protein design method using Alphafold2 and gradient descent optimization. The approach allows precise tailoring of large proteins with desired properties, such as binding to pathogens.

The subtleties of antibody-target interaction can guide the development of better malaria treatments and vaccines.

Phosphorus, a nutrient in soil essential for sustaining most forms of life, is increasingly disappearing from land as it is washed into waterways throughout the United States.

This article delves into MS data analysis and its associated challenges, how AI/ML can aid analyses and exciting potential future developments in the field, with specific applications to proteomics and metabolomics research.

A series of bioluminescent proteins have been designed to serve as a non-invasive method for bioimaging, diagnostics and more.
