If you've ever accidentally sliced yourself on broken glass or a piece of paper, you may have noticed that the bleeding can ...

Researchers at La Jolla Institute for Immunology solved the first 3D structure of HERV-K Env, a protein encoded by ancient ...

Biologists and computational scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory recently ...

Gene editing is one of the latest breakthroughs in biology. The widely known CRISPR-Cas gene editing system provided prokaryotes (organisms that lack cell nuclei) an immunity against foreign DNA.

Scientists have decoded the 3D structure of an ancient viral protein hidden in our DNA. The HERV-K Env protein, found on cancer and autoimmune cells, has a unique shape that could unlock new ...

SPOP is the most mutated protein in prostate cancer and plays a role in endometrial, uterine and other cancers. Despite this importance, how SPOP mutations drive cancer has been incompletely ...

Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is the most common form of dementia, with symptoms appearing after age 65. Since ...

Gene editing is one of the latest breakthroughs in biology. The widely known CRISPR-Cas gene editing system provided prokaryotes (organisms that lack cell nuclei) an immunity against foreign DNA.

Biologists and computational scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory recently refined two artificial intelligence (AI) programs originally built by Meta, the ...

In research, scientists rely on many models to study various biological processes. The lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infects rodents as well as humans, and has long been used to study how ...
