More than six million Americans are affected by Alzheimer's disease, a form of dementia marked by accumulation of amyloid-β within the brain. Amyloid-β is a relatively small protein that forms toxic ...

Despite awe-inspiring diversity, nearly every lifeform – from bacteria to blue whales – shares the same genetic code. How and when this code came about has been the subject of much scientific ...

Nearly all living organisms use the same genetic code, a complicated mechanism by which genetic information is translated into proteins, the building blocks of life. A new study suggests conventional ...

Exosome Binding Protein (EBP) can be used to direct other proteins to exosomes, effectively allowing for targeted delivery of ...

with lengths varying depending on the protein and their location. While we did not attempt further remodelling of these flexible regions into Melbournevirus densities, a more complete representation ...

Wnt proteins are important signalers for a wide range of processes, including regeneration after an injury and proliferation ...

Carnegie Mellon’s Joel McManus and Pitt’s Robert Nicholls received a $162,000 grant from the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research to study the regulation and function of a key gene that is usually ...

Researchers built an AI tool (called LucaProt) to go through vast troves of genetic sequence data, and this led to the ...

As we approach the end of 2024, First Opinion is publishing a series of essays on the state of AI in medicine and biopharma. ...
