Protein–Protein Interaction

Scientists compared blood from frequent, long-term donors to that of more seldom ones and saw some key genetic differences in cell types.

Women with African ancestry have often been left out of breast cancer studies. Now scientists are catching up

The hormonal changes of puberty, the menstrual cycle and menopause can all affect our sleep, but there are also subtler ways that hormones and sleep interact

"We found that our gut environment . . . plays a big role in keeping potentially harmful bacteria in check"

The finding could help unravel gene regulatory networks and explain how genetic and environmental factors interact in neurodevelopmental conditions.

In a study published in the journal Nature, researchers from the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) and the Wellcome Sanger Institute have discovered that mutations affect protein stability following remarkably simple rules. The discovery has profound implications for accelerating the development of new treatments for diseases or the design of new proteins with industrial applications.

In a study led by Sarah Worthan, Ph.D., a postdoctoral researcher in the Behringer Lab at Vanderbilt University, scientists have successfully evolved microbial cultures that possess the ability to sense pH changes, enabling rapid responses to environmental fluctuations.

'You can harness the power of death in a controlled way.'

As antibiotic resistance becomes an increasingly serious threat to our health, the scientific and medical communities are searching for new medicines to fight infections. Researchers at Gladstone Institutes have just moved closer to that goal with a novel technique for harnessing the power of bacteriophages.

As far as water gear goes, floaties are not exactly high tech. But the tiny air-filled bubbles some microorganisms use as flotation devices when they compete for light on the water surface are a different story.

Plus: Neuralink's second trial with a human patient appears to have been a success

In a groundbreaking exploration of cell surface biology, Ryan Flynn has uncovered a surprising role for RNA outside the confines of the cell. Flynn's research, which focuses on the biology of cell surface RNA, led to the discovery that certain RNAs are chemically linked to glycans—complex carbohydrate polymers found on the cell surface.

What puts the electronic pep in peptides? A folded structure, according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

For Lucas Farnung, there is no question more fascinating than how a single fertilized egg develops into a fully-functioning human. As a structural biologist, he is studying this process on the smallest scale: the trillions of atoms that must synchronize their work to make it happen.

Features as small as 50 nanometers preserved in a 50,000-year-old sample.

Mayo Clinic researchers have uncovered molecular signatures of blood-brain barrier dysfunction in Alzheimer's, offering new avenues for diagnosis and treatment based on extensive tissue analysis and cellular studies. The blood-brain barrier — a network of blood vessels and tissues that nurtures a

GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy may help lower the risk of certain cancers, a new study suggests.

The innovative AI model, announced on May 8, is likely to dramatically accelerate biological research.

MS can be considered a spectrum, researchers proposed

The most comprehensive cell "atlas" of the developing human heart to date was crafted using cutting-edge technology and includes never-before-seen cell types.
