Researchers have designed a smart drug that hunts down and breaks a little-known RNA that cancer cells depend on. The drug recognizes a unique fold in the RNA and triggers the cell to destroy it.

Around 80% of proteins involved in diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative illnesses do not have a stable structure. These proteins, known as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) can quickly ...

A new research paper featured on the cover of Volume 17, Issue 11 of Aging-US was published on October 30, 2025, titled "SAMP ...

EMBL researchers have created a new AI tool that uses a “molecular laser tag” approach to identify cells capable of revealing the earliest origins of cancer. The human body depends on accurate genetic ...

Cancer cells have an insatiable appetite for energy as they multiply more rapidly than normal cells. Greedy cancer cells hijack various cellular functions to find and exploit energy and other ...

University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. A University of Iowa-led study ...

Every function in a cell is associated with a particular protein or group of proteins, typically in a well-defined ...

Some cancers can "shapeshift" and start to resemble cells from other organs. New research has identified the proteins ...

Two complementary studies led by researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS ...

Scientists accidentally discovered how an old blood pressure drug hydralazine could fight aggressive brain cancer by targeting cellular oxygen sensors.

For more than 70 years, hydralazine has helped doctors lower dangerously high blood pressure during medical emergencies, ...
