We have long struggled to determine how the first living organisms on Earth came together. Now, surprising evidence hints ...

NF2 deficiency eliminates LATS-mediated phosphorylation of YAP, allowing dephosphorylated YAP to enter the nucleus and co-activate CAD and DHODH transcription. Together, these enzymes accelerate de ...

Jen Keane’s claim to fame is that she grew a shoe using bacteria, coaxing the microbes to deposit their nanocellulose materials in the shape of a sneaker. But she’s kind of over that. “I feel like ...

Laboratory experiments with cancer cells reveal two ways in which tumors evade drugs designed to starve and kill them, a study shows. Laboratory experiments with cancer cells reveal two ways in which ...

For new, human-made heavy elements on the periodic table, being “too ‘big’ for your own good” often means instability and a fleeting existence. The more protons and neutrons scientists squeeze ...

Pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis is a druggable metabolic dependency of cancer cells, and chemotherapy agents targeting pyrimidine metabolism are the backbone of treatment for many cancers.

There’s been this dream for decades. What if we could just print out an entire gene directly, one base at a time? —Daniel Lin-Arlow, Ansa Biotechnologies As scientists set their sights on cell and ...

Scientists introduce a large language model-based AI system that revolutionizes chemistry by integrating 18 advanced tools for tasks like organic synthesis and drug discovery. EPFL scientists ...

Chemotherapy resistance is a major obstacle to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and strategies to overcome this resistance are required. Using proteomic analysis, we found that NPC patients ...

What is synthesis in graduate writing, and why does it matter? When graduate scholars synthesize sources, they paraphrase ideas, evaluate the credibility of sources and make critical connections as ...
