Researchers created tiny droplets that, when activated by laser light, can detect viral protein biomarkers indicating the presence of certain diseases.
A new study reports the discovery of a distinctly quantum effect in biology that survives warm, chaotic conditions and may also present a way for the brain to protect itself from degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists have found a protein that is responsible for turning off brown fat activity. This new discovery could lead to a promising strategy for safely activating brown fat and tackling obesity and related health problems.
Harnessing the self-assembling abilities of proteins from the cuticles of Asian corn borer moth caterpillars, scientists have created nanosized capsules that could be used to deliver drugs and messenger RNA (mRNA).
