University of Warwick scientists model movements of nearly 300 protein structures in Covid-19. Scientists can use the simulations to identify potential targets to test with existing drugs, and even check effectiveness with future Covid variants. Simulation of virus spike protein, part of the virus's corona', shows a promising mechanism that could potentially be blocked. Researchers have publicly released data on […]

UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have uncovered a potential new way to target pancreatic tumors that express high intratumoral interferon signaling (IFN). The team found that high type I IFN signaling is present in a subset of pancreatic tumors and it triggers a decrease in the level of NAD and NADH in pancreatic cancer cells, which are vital cofactors […]

Working with colleagues from Germany and the US, researchers at Leipzig University have achieved a breakthrough in research into how cancer cells spread. In experiments, the team of biophysicists led by Professor Josef Alfons Käs, Steffen Grosser and Jürgen Lippoldt demonstrated for the first time how cells deform in order to move in dense tumor tissues and squeeze past neighboring […]
