New stem cell mechanism in mice intestines has potential human application
Researchers have found a new biophysical mechanism that regulates stem cells in the intestines of mice, which could have implications for potential new treatments for human diseases. Read More
Researchers target protein to hasten search for next COVID-19 antiviral
A new approach to identifying molecules that interfere with the protein nsp13 could speed up the search for the next COVID-19 antiviral and lead to development of pan-coronavirus antivirals. Read More
Study finds cancer cells gravitate toward mechanical ‘sweet spot’ environments
An international team of researchers, led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities engineers, has discovered that cancer cells invade the body based on the stiffness of their environment, providing a new understanding of how cancer spreads and the potential for improvements to future treatments.

Researchers determine first cryo-EM full-length structures of ACE
Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), researchers from the University of Cape Town have determined the first full-length structures of the human angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), a blood pressure-regulating protein, which they say could help improve drug design for heart disease. Read More
Bio-Rad extends range of anti-idiotypic antibodies for bioanalysis, drug monitoring
Bio-Rad Laboratories has extended its range of recombinant monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies with the introduction of antibodies specific to brentuximab vedotin, secukinumab, and the secukinumab-interleukin 17A drug-target complex. Read More
Researchers identify which mice not to use for sickle cell disease studies
Researchers in Memphis, TN, have learned why certain mice die when testing new gene-based therapies for sickle cell disease and encourage scientists to carefully consider the genetics of the mice they are using to study human diseases. Read More
Scientists discover why sound blunts pain in mice
An international team of researchers have discovered exactly why sound can reduce pain, at least in mice. Read More
2-step molecular strategy spots HIV-1
Scripps Research scientists and collaborators have discovered the innate immune system uses a two-step molecular strategy to detect HIV-1, even when the virus is present in very small amounts. Read More
Researchers develop 'wise counsel' for biological systems
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology created Machine Learning Guided Experimental Trials for Improvement of Systems, a modular software system for optimizing biological systems. Read More
