Researchers at EPFL have created the first 4D lipid atlas of vertebrate development, revealing how fats shape our bodies from embryo to organism.This post was originally published on this site

For years, scientists have marveled at bacteria’s ability to digest the seemingly indigestible, including carbon from lignin, the tough, woody material that gives plants their rigidity.This post was originally published on this site

What if generative AI could design life-saving antibiotics, not just art and text? In a new Cell Biomaterials paper, Penn researchers introduce AMP-Diffusion, a generative AI tool used to create tens of thousands of new […]

Previously, research on controlling gene networks has been carried out based on a single stimulus-response of cells. More recently, studies have been proposed to precisely analyze complex gene networks to identify control targets.This post was […]

Like bees breathing life into gardens, providing pollen and making flowers blossom, little cellular machines called mitochondria breathe life into our bodies, buzzing with energy as they produce the fuel that powers each of our […]

We mapped the human genome decades ago, but most of it is still a black box. Now, UNSW scientists have developed a tool to peer inside and what they find could reshape how we think […]

Since its release in 2024, the open-source platform BindCraft, developed at EPFL, has already disrupted the world of protein design. Physical interactions between proteins influence anything from cell signaling and growth to immune responses, so […]

What if plants could speak when they were thirsty? Agriculture, in essence, is a dialog among crops, soil and climate. Yet drought, the most insidious stressor, remains largely silent until its damage is visible.This post […]

Researchers from USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and their university partners are helping U.S. tomato growers fight a devastating crop disease. Researchers found that a tomato line developed 30 years ago is showing good resistance […]

EPFL researchers have developed Systema, a new tool to evaluate how well AI models work when predicting the effects of genetic perturbations.This post was originally published on this site
