Study gives new perspective on production of blood cells and immune cells
A healthy adult makes about 2 million blood cells every second, and 99 percent of them are oxygen-carrying red blood
Organoids reveal inflammatory processes in chlamydia infections
For a long time, researchers were only able to examine human cells infected with bacteria by using cancer cell lines.
Model learns how individual amino acids determine protein function
A machine-learning model from MIT researchers computationally breaks down how segments of amino acid chains determine a protein’s function, which
Scientists discover how Proteins interact along Metabolic Pathway
Life can depend upon the interaction of two proteins that come together along a metabolic pathway. There, they enable growth
