Certain diseases, including Alzheimer’s, are currently considered “undruggable” because traditional small molecule drugs can’t interfere with the proteins responsible for the illnesses. But a new ...

Early experiments suggest that reprogramming plant immune receptors could one day slash the world’s dependence on nitrogen ...

Learn more about the “glue sniffer” protein, which is able to detect brain cells’ incoming chemical signals, and what that ...

Scientists at Scripps Research and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have found a clue to the molecular cause of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which may also explain why women are at greater ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to modifying enzymes to improve functionality. They designed a new algorithm to make multiple changes to an enzyme sequence at once as compared to the ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan designed an optimized viral protein able to boost the antitumor function of T cells. The project stemmed from observations on the particular system employed ...

If people have too much of the protein, it can lead to obesity. The FTO technique could eventually help farmers grow more food — with the same resources — and without a larger carbon footprint. Good ...

Scientists have successfully bioengineered an important protein in plants to increase the yield of oil from their fruits and seeds -- a holy grail for the global agri-food industry. Their ...
