We tend to view ourselves and the complex cells that build us as a distinct branch of the tree of life from the compact, ...

RNA therapeutics have emerged as one of the most promising new classes of medicines. Eight small interfering RNA (siRNA) ...

A new technique incorporates many different building blocks of cellular metamaterials into one unified graph-based representation. This can be used to make a user-friendly interface that can quickly ...

Complex systems in nature, like their synthetic counterparts in technology, comprise a large number of small components that assemble of their own accord through molecular interactions. Gaining a ...

No “sticky ends”? No problem. A new study by NYU chemists finds that DNA tiles can assemble into 3D structures without the sticky cohesion of hydrogen bonding. This finding, published in Nature ...

A new collaboration between EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), Google DeepMind, NVIDIA, and Seoul National University has made millions of AI-predicted protein complex structures ...

Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.

Chemists have developed an efficient skeletal editing method for frequently used heteroaromatic structures. The technique could serve as a means to chemically modify biologically active compounds.

While the Milky Way has more stars than the brain has neurons, the manifold connections and interactions in the brain make it arguably more complex. Source: theartofsounds2001 | Pixabay The human ...
