To fight the virus that causes influenza, one of the avenues being explored by scientists is the development of drugs capable of destabilizing its genome, made up of eight RNA molecules. But the ...

Researchers at Arizona State University have uncovered a key scientific principle that governs how what's coated on the surfaces of engineered nanoparticles may ultimately control how they work in our ...

"The protein surrounds bacteria by forming a sort of coat around them," explains Tanja Kuhm, PhD candidate in Jakobi's research group and the lead author of the article. "By pulling this coat tighter, ...

Scientists discover how innate immunity envelops bacteria. The protein GBP1 is a vital component of our body's natural defense against pathogens. This substance fights against bacteria and parasites ...

Chemists have determined the structure of the fuzzy coat that surrounds tau proteins. Learning more about this structure could help scientists find ways to block tau from forming tangles in the brains ...
