A new computational approach helps find heat-stable molecules capable of fighting bacterial infections.

Analyzing the spatial patterns in which tumors accumulate mutations allows scientists to better understand tumor growth.

Neurodegenerative diseases caused by misfolded proteins have distinct characteristics that may contribute to their unique symptoms.

Tumor cells accumulate many mutations that do not aid tumor survival but may interfere with how their proteins work.

Scientists have developed an automated tool to study cell growth and division, including hard-to-study, free-floating blood cancer cells.

A single molecular signal enhances the complexity of human brain organoids, inducing the emergence of multiple distinct brain regions.

Experiments in zebrafish suggest that motor neurons are not essential for other neurons in the reflex circuit that stabilizes gaze to form connections, contradicting previous results.

Experiments in yeast show that mutations in a protein that protects humans from the poxvirus tend to keep the protein’s activity and are resilient to mutations in the poxvirus protein it interacts with.
