Our food and our bodies are full of tiny protein fragments called peptides. These small chains of amino acids act as biological messengers, influencing processes ranging from sensory perception to ...

Advances in structural biology have allowed scientists to determine molecular structures with atomic-level detail, sometimes yielding static snapshots that do not reflect the dynamism of proteins.

Researchers from MIT’s Department of Biology have developed a new computational method called FragFold, which shows promise for advancing biological research and therapeutic applications. The newly ...

Scientists found life can be detected by how molecules are arranged, improving the chances of finding life on moons like ...

A novel health-assessment tool uses eight metrics derived from a person's physical exam and routine lab tests to characterize biological age. It may be able to predict a person's risk of disability ...

Many spatial biology researchers rely on two-dimensional tools, which section the cellular architecture and processes occurring within 3D tissues into flat layers. Three-dimensional multiomic analysis ...
