Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.
Scientists cultivating partnerships of fungi and algae believe their invention has far-out implications for how we create the ...
MIT scientists have achieved the first-ever lab synthesis of verticillin A, a complex fungal compound discovered in 1970. Its delicate structure stalled chemists for decades, despite differing from ...
New research suggests Alzheimer’s may start far earlier than previously thought, driven by a hidden toxic protein in the brain. Scientists found that an experimental drug, NU-9, blocks this early ...
Jessica Lin and Zhenqi (Pete) Shi from Genentech describe a novel machine learning approach to predicting retention times for ...
Experimental drug NU-9 shows promise in clearing toxic proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Scientists tested NU-9 in a pre-symptomatic animal model of Alzheimer’s disease. Drug ...
In a decades-long effort, researchers have discovered how to tweak the molecular pathways that turn heart muscle motors up or ...
A new drug targets Alzheimer’s at its earliest, most silent stage — before memory loss ever begins. Credit: Shutterstock. A ...
Fluorine is critical for biomedicine. This element can help drug compounds be more potent and last longer in the body, and ...
One key component might be RNA, a molecular cousin of DNA found in every form of life on Earth, and now scientists say they ...
