Structure of the red-shifted Fittonia albivenis photosystem I

Several Acanthaceae species exhibit a far-red shift in their fluorescence spectraWe obtained plants from three understory traditional Chinese medicine species, Panax ginseng, Panax...

How molecular interactions make it possible to overcome the energy barrier

Non-reciprocal interactions allow the design of more efficient molecular systems. In their new paper, scientists from the department "Living Matter Physics" at the...

New drug shows promise in clearing HIV from brain

An experimental drug originally developed to treat cancer may help clear HIV from infected cells in the brain, according to a new Tulane...

A recipe for zero-emissions fuel: Soda cans, seawater, and caffeine

A sustainable source for clean energy may lie in old soda cans and seawater. MIT engineers have found that when the aluminum in soda...

Research sheds light on the role of PTPRK in tissue repair and cancer

Receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases are cell membrane-localised proteins. They are regulators of cell-cell contacts and are also considered likely to be tumour suppressors...

Context-aware geometric deep learning for protein sequence design

DatasetsThe training dataset is composed of ~370,000 subunits, the validation dataset of ~100,000, all downloaded from RCSB PDB, labeled as the first biological...

It’s got praying mantis eyes

Self-driving cars occasionally crash because their visual systems can't always process static or slow-moving objects in 3D space. In that regard, they're like...

New rapid method for determining virus infectivity

A new method that can rapidly determine whether a virus is infectious or non-infectious could revolutionise the response to future pandemics. Called FAIRY (Fluorescence...

3D matrix stiffness modulation unveils cardiac fibroblast phenotypic switching

Characterization of stiffness-tunable hydrogels in situ and cardiac fibroblastsTo replicate the fluctuating conditions found within native cell mechanical microenvironments, we fabricated a set...
