Toxic protein linked to both muscular dystrophy and arhinia
National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers and collaborators have found that DUX4, a toxic protein made by the body, may be responsible for two very different rare genetic disorders. The study, published on Friday in Science Advances, may eventually lead to therapies that can help people with a type of muscular dystrophy, as well as those with a facial malformation called congenital arhinia.

Machine learning finds potential brain cancer drug targets in multi-omics dataset
Researchers have applied machine learning to a multi-omics dataset to identify the kinases that drive tumor growth and drug resistance in certain types of brain tumor. Read More
MIT researchers record cellular memories through protein chains
Using engineered proteins, MIT researchers have designed a system in which they can record “memories” of sequences of cellular events, such as when certain genes are activated, or how cells respond to a drug, as cells turn on series of genes and pathways in performing functions. Read More
