Albumin has been identified as a powerful natural defense against mucormycosis, with low levels signaling heightened risk and a potential opportunity for new preventive therapies. An international ...

David Baker’s lab at the University of Washington is announcing two major leaps in the field of AI-powered protein design. The first is a souped-up version of its existing RFdiffusion2 tool that can ...

A cold-activated protein that mends damaged DNA could play a part in keeping the bowhead whale in tip-top shape. “Everybody knows the bowhead whale is extremely long-lived, but nobody knew why,” says ...

A new international study published in Nature has identified albumin, the most abundant protein in human blood, as a powerful and previously ...

For decades, scientists assumed that order drives efficiency. Yet in the bustling machinery of mitochondria—the organelles ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Unraveling the mysteries of how biological organisms function begins with understanding the molecular interactions within and across large cell ...
