The engineering of artificial cells requires a reconfigurable cytoskeleton that can organize at distinct locations and dynamically modulate its structural and mechanical properties. This study combines peptide self-assembly with DNA programmability to realize a synthetic cytoskeleton in droplets showing that programmable...
This study describes the identification of an antibiotic class acting via LpxH, involved in lipopolysaccharide synthesis having potent in vivo efficacy against bloodstream infections caused by the critical Gram-negative pathogens E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Further development of this class of antibiotics could make an...
This study attempts to identify the “protective” genetic factors that can modify or reduce the effect of APOEε4 on Alzheimer’s disease risk and to identify new pathogenic mechanisms, proteins, and pathways that inform development of therapeutic targets and diagnostics....
Brief anger can temporarily impair blood vessel function, potentially heightening heart disease and stroke risks, finds new study in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
Scientists have identified a new hybrid brain cell, sharing attributes of neurons and astrocytes. These cells can release neurotransmitters and may influence conditions like epilepsy and memory consolidation.
China’s space agency is making final preparations to send a new crew to its space station on Thursday as part of its ambitious program that aims to put people on the moon by 2030.
