A new approach dubbed ProteinGuide aims to let researchers steer protein sequence generative models using auxiliary experimental or user-specified information—without the heavy burden of retraining...

Mitochondria have long been treated as cellular powerhouses, but a new study reframes them as potential vehicles for targeted cancer therapy. Researchers report that mitochondria-derived...

In diabetic cardiomyopathy, the heart’s energy balance and stress-handling systems deteriorate even when blood glucose is managed. A new study now points to a molecular...

Atherosclerosis remains stubbornly resistant to single-target therapies, largely because plaque progression is driven by intertwined processes—oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and defective clearance of dying cells....

Nanoplastics—plastic fragments smaller than one micrometer—are now detected across food, water, air, and even biological tissues. Yet understanding how these particles travel inside complex organs,...

A new transcriptomic map of human fat is helping to clarify why “brown” and “white” adipose tissues behave so differently—and how those differences may be...

A team of researchers reports that oligomeric alpha-synuclein carried inside neural-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs) may forecast specific non-motor burdens in Parkinson’s disease, opening a potential...
