By combining several cutting-edge imaging technologies, a new microscope system could enable unprecedentedly deep and precise visualization of metabolic and neuronal activity, potentially even in humans.
Researchers develop a fast-acting, cell-permeable protein system to control CRISPR-Cas9, reducing off-target effects and advancing gene therapy.
A new approach can reveal the features AI models use to predict proteins that might make good drug or vaccine targets.
The team used two different AI approaches to design novel antibiotics, including one that showed promise against MRSA.
A new study finds parts of the brain’s visual cortex are specialized to analyze either solid objects or flowing materials like water or sand.
Combining powerful imaging, perturbational screening, and machine learning, researchers uncover new human host factors that alter Ebola’s ability to infect.
A new approach for testing multiple treatment combinations at once could help scientists develop drugs for cancer or genetic disorders.
The new implant carries a reservoir of glucagon that can be stored under the skin and deployed during an emergency — with no injections needed.
The enzyme, known as rubisco, helps plants and photosynthetic bacteria incorporate carbon dioxide into sugars.
In an analysis of over 160,000 transplant candidates, researchers found that race is linked to how likely an organ offer is to be accepted on behalf of a patient.
