The molecule-sized devices activated the same calcium-based cellular signaling mechanism in a live organism, causing whole-body contraction in a fresh-water polyp, or Hydra vulgaris. "This is the ...

Molecular machine learning (ML) underpins critical workflows in drug discovery, material science, and catalyst optimization by rapidly predicting molecular interactions and properties. For instance, ...

Yale scientists have discovered a family of immune proteins, which they describe as a “massive molecular machine,” that could affect the way our bodies fight infection. Our immune system mobilizes ...

For Lucas Farnung, there is no question more fascinating than how a single fertilized egg develops into a fully-functioning human. As a structural biologist, he is studying this process on the ...

Scientists have built DNA-based nanocircuits that reset with heat, enabling reusable molecular systems for tasks like cargo sorting and pattern recognition. (Nanowerk News) Though it might seem like ...

(Nanowerk News) One of the main ways cells “talk” to each other to coordinate essential biological activities such as muscle contraction, hormone release, neuronal firing, digestion and immune ...
