The molecule Wnt, which plays a role in cell communication during human development, evolved from a superfamily with a shared lipid-modifying mechanism originally involved in bacterial defence and ...

Researchers have described a large set of previously unrecognized enzymatic domains—named the Lipocone superfamily—and outlined their evolutionary pathway from bacterial defense molecules to key ...

Cancer cells often survive even strong therapies, partly due to a protein called survivin. A research team at the Center of ...

Three scientists who helped lay the groundwork to develop new treatments for DMD have been awarded the 2025 Louisa Gross ...

Harvard's PDGrapher AI tool forecasts gene-drug pairings that restore diseased cells, marking a breakthrough in precision ...

Insect exoskeletons and gut linings are built from chitin, using type A and B enzymes. New research shows these enzymes aren’t interchangeable—they differ in how they work inside cells and which ...
