FragFold, developed by MIT Biology researchers, is a computational method with potential for impact on biological research and therapeutic applications.

The gene that codes for p53 is the most frequently mutated in cancer. Researchers are targeting different parts of its complex pathway to restore its ability to stop cancer.

Whitehead Institute and CSAIL researchers created a machine-learning model to predict and generate protein localization, with implications for understanding and remedying disease.

Discovering new materials could drive forward areas such as green technology and advanced electronics.

A new technique could lead to new, less-invasive treatments for blood disorders and genetic diseases, researchers report.

A new study finds that participants with sickle cell disease had brains that appeared an average of 14 years older than their actual age.

Studying the pathogen R. parkeri, researchers discovered the first evidence of extensive and stable interkingdom contacts between a pathogen and a eukaryotic organelle.

Cells function differently under low gravity conditions. Rather than send lab samples to space, researchers are developing Earth-bound tools to more easily study microgravity’s effects on biology.

Solar cells made with organic materials could be better than conventional silicon and gallium arsenide for generating power in space.

New findings illuminate how Prochlorococcus’ nightly “cross-feeding” plays a role in regulating the ocean’s capacity to cycle and store carbon.
