Researchers have used deep learning to design artificial proteins that shield water-fearing membrane proteins, making them soluble. This technique allows scientists to study disease-causing proteins in water without destroying their shape. The method could accelerate vaccine development for complex diseases like syphilis.
Researchers have proposed a quantum algorithm designed to speed up the simulation of complex quantum systems. By using superposition, this method bypasses slow, traditional data-sampling methods, offering a potential path to accelerate the design of more stable quantum computer memory.
Researchers discovered that local nerve signals, rather than circulating blood factors, drive the wasting syndrome known as cancer cachexia in lung cancer models. Blocking these signals prevented muscle and weight loss, suggesting new neuro-oncology treatments.
A new study reveals that fruit flies actively seek out dark environments to protect their biological rhythms under constant light. This self-regulating behaviour directly improves their sleep quality at a molecular level. The findings suggest new pathways for designing healthier human habitats and space colonies.
