Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

What do "epigenetic clocks" actually measure? These lab tests have become popular tools for studying biological aging, or how ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics. Many ...

A single human gene can produce multiple protein isoforms through alternative splicing, greatly expanding the functional diversity of the proteome.

Generative biology is moving from code to the clinic, promising faster drug discovery while raising hard questions about ...

A comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes has just been completed and released. Researchers used large-scale evolutionary modeling to integrate data on ...

Early-career researchers are tackling some of biology's biggest questions. Along the way, they explain persistent ...

Source: Via Tenor The human brain has been described as the most complex structure in the universe (Dolan, 2007; see also Pang, 2023). Researchers estimate that we have over 100 trillion connections ...
