In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or improved functions is crucial, but current methods are often slow and laborious. Now, Scripps Research scientists have developed a synthetic biology platform…

Researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, have documented their use of a new RNA sequencing technology to uncover molecular drivers of cellular differentiation…

The obesity rate has more than doubled in the last 30 years, affecting more than one billion people worldwide. This prevalent condition is also linked to other metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases,…

By tracing maternal and paternal inheritance without parental DNA, scientists have mapped dozens of parent-specific genetic effects, uncovering how the same variant can drive or protect against disease depending on which parent it…

Study subjects

The study cohort comprised 30 patients diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who were evaluated and treated at the Baheya Foundation for Early Detection and Treatment of Breast Cancer, Egypt. All cases were confirmed through…

Membraneless compartments within cells that concentrate specific molecules, known as biomolecular condensates, are increasingly being recognized in controlling cancer-related processes, such as oncogenic transcription. Lyons et al. set out to…

Selection of the optimal host for heterologous expression of T2PKs

Through a comparative analysis of the functional characteristics across distinct organism hosts, we prioritized Streptomyces hosts as the initial focus for chassis development due…
