Researchers have discovered a type of “molecular glue” that can be used to inhibit certain pathological protein interactions. Their findings were published in the paper, “Molecular glues that inhibit deubiquitylase activity and inflammatory signaling,” in […]

Farmers in dozens of countries have embraced crops genetically engineered to produce proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) bacteria that kill some key pests yet are safe for people and wildlife. Although this biotech approach reduces […]

When news broke that scientists in Texas had successfully reintroduced the long-extinct dire wolf to the modern world, more people than just “Game of Thrones” fans took notice.This post was originally published on this site

UM researchers have developed a deep learning model to predict compound protein interactions. GraphBAN is an inductive graph-based approach. The model is all about discovering new drug candidates in the pre-clinical stage. This means speeding […]

A few years ago, the advent of technology known as CRISPR was a major breakthrough in the scientific world. Developed from a derivative of the immune system of bacteria, CRISPR enables double strands of nucleotides […]

A team of researchers have developed a novel method that can quickly and automatically detect and monitor microbial contamination in cell therapy products (CTPs) early on during the manufacturing process.This post was originally published on […]

Ever wonder what the clacks, clucks and erratic trills of backyard chickens might mean? Do those staccato sounds mean they are happy, sad, distressed or perfectly content?This post was originally published on this site

A new autonomous drone system could provide ecologists with deeper insights into animal behavior in the wild, a study suggests.This post was originally published on this site

They whimper, drink from baby bottles and crawl oh so tentatively—they look like cute white puppies, not the fruit of a daring project to resuscitate an extinct species.This post was originally published on this site

Bacteria can be engineered to sense a variety of molecules, such as pollutants or soil nutrients. In most cases, however, these signals can only be detected by looking at the cells under a microscope or […]
