ETH researchers have developed a new gene switch that can be activated using nitroglycerin -available nitroglycerin slices applied to the skin. One day, scientists want to use this type of switches to trigger cell therapy for various metabolic diseases. The body regulates its metabolism precisely and constantly, with specialized cells in the pancreas constantly monitor, […]
Antidepressants, such as prozac, are usually prescribed in the treatment of mental health disorders, but new studies suggest that they can also protect against serious infections and life -threatening sepsis. Scientists from the Salk Institute have now discovered how drugs are able to regulate the immune system and defend against infectious diseases that could lead […]
Proteins are life engines that drive processes such as muscle movement, vision and chemical reactions. Their lipid circles or other condensed phases-critical for their functions, shaping their structure and interactions. However, many modern protein design methods, including tools based on artificial intelligence, often ignore the way this environment affect proteins. This gap limits our ability […]
