The development of novel, broad-spectrum antihelmintics is a major priority for ensuring the future of effective chemotheraptuic control of parasitic flatworms worldwide.
AI in Proteomics Data Analysis: Revolutionizing Protein Research
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool, enhancing data processing, pattern recognition, and prediction in proteomics. This integration is accelerating discoveries and fostering deeper understanding in fields like drug development, biomarker discovery, and systems biology.
X disease epidemic in Congo: X agents are not new to Science!
The "new" disease outbreak taking place in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which had already been heavily struck by the "Monkeypox" (MPX) epidemic, has been hitherto responsible for approximately 600 cases with a 6.2% lethality rate, especially among children.
How calcium-regulated reprogramming primes legume root cells to welcome beneficial rhizobia symbionts
Legumes host symbiotic nitrogen-fixing rhizobia within root nodules. To deliver rhizobia to nodules, the plant transiently creates cytoplasmic bridges to allow rhizobia entry and progression. Here we dissected the underlying extensive ultrastructural reprogramming and fine-tuned calcium regulation.
