3+ week, 3+ day ago   (334+ words) TET controls Parkin to increase mitochondrial heat production in beige adipose tissue under cold exposure The principle by which fat cells in the body enhance the heat-producing capacity of mitochondria, the “stoves inside cells,” has been identified. The finding is…...

3+ week, 6+ day ago   (401+ words) Duke University uses LLM-based design to expand and shrink proteins for cancer targets and biosensors Using artificial intelligence (AI), researchers have developed a technology that can shrink or enlarge proteins while maintaining their structure and function. It is being hailed…...

1+ mon, 5+ day ago   (261+ words) A single blood test may soon allow doctors to predict the risk of relapse and metastasis in colorectal cancer patients more accurately than current methods. By harnessing changes in this metabolic connectivity, the team developed a new analytical technique that…...

1+ mon, 6+ day ago   (345+ words) Discovery of Dnajb5’s dual brake mechanism suggests new therapies for sarcopenia and cachexia A protein that regulates muscle regeneration and growth has been discovered in an Antarctic fish. A Korean research team has, for the first time in the world,…...

1+ mon, 3+ week ago   (267+ words) Google DeepMind’s artificial intelligence (AI) tool AlphaFold, which predicts three-dimensional protein structures, has now evolved to the point where it can forecast the dynamic motions of proteins. It can predict multiple structures that proteins may adopt in real biological environments....

2+ mon, 1+ day ago   (344+ words) Shrinking nuclei in Alzheimer’s and frontotemporal dementia reveal a new cell death pathway and potential drug targets Researchers have uncovered a clue that may explain the loss of neurons in patients with neurodegenerative diseases, which has been difficult to account…...
