14+ min ago   (84+ words) Chronic kidney disease is one of the world’s most burdensome chronic conditions, a slow and often silent deterioration of renal function that affects hundreds of millions of people and frequently goes undetected until the damage is advanced. Staging the disease…...

1+ hour, 7+ min ago   (75+ words) Rare cells punch far above their weight in biology. Populations that make up less than one percent of a tissue can drive tumor progression, immune evasion, drug resistance, and relapse, while others mark the first steps of lineage commitment or…...

2+ hour, 9+ min ago   (92+ words) This June, ten of the life sciences industry’s most respected board members came to New York for Accenture’s second annual Life Sciences Board Forum for something this industr... Ten life sciences board directors on AI's three hardest questions: developing the…...

2+ hour, 10+ min ago   (540+ words) Computed tomography has long been one of medicine’s most powerful windows into the human body, but a fundamental limitation has always lurked beneath its grayscale images. Conventional CT measures how much X-rays are attenuated as they pass through tissue, a…...

3+ hour, 14+ min ago   (679+ words) For most of modern biology, the hunt for new human proteins has followed a familiar path: read the genetic sequence, predict where genes begin and end, and work outward from there. That strategy has served science remarkably well, delivering the…...

3+ hour, 57+ min ago   (746+ words) A sweeping new review published in Discover Chemistry charts the remarkable rise of proteolysis-targeting chimeras, better known as PROTACs, from a bold theoretical idea to one of the most closely watched platforms in modern drug discovery. Written by Sandip G....

4+ hour, 37+ min ago   (674+ words) Spatial omics technologies have transformed biology by allowing scientists to measure gene expression, proteins, chromatin states and even metabolites directly within intact tissue sections, preserving the geographical context that single-cell methods discard....

5+ hour, 17+ min ago   (734+ words) Pathology is undergoing a quiet revolution, and a new study published in Nature Cancer may accelerate it dramatically....

5+ hour, 17+ min ago   (689+ words) For decades, biologists have treated protein abundance as the closest available proxy for what a cell is actually doing. Measure how much of each protein a cell produces, the reasoning went, and you have a reasonable snapshot of its functional…...

5+ hour, 17+ min ago   (77+ words) Scientists have unveiled a significantly upgraded CRISPR base editing platform that combines near-unrestricted DNA targeting with pinpoint accuracy and markedly higher efficiency, potentially transforming efforts to correct disease-causing mutations and engineer improved crops. In a study published in Advanced Science,…...
