With AI, researchers predict the location of virtually any protein within a human cell
Read more: With AI, researchers predict the location of virtually any protein within a human cellTrained with a joint understanding of protein and cell behavior, the model could help with diagnosing disease and developing new drugs. A protein located in the wrong part of a cell can contribute to several diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, cystic fibrosis, and cancer. But there are about 70,000 different proteins and protein variants in a…

Study of facial bacteria could lead to probiotics that promote healthy skin
Read more: Study of facial bacteria could lead to probiotics that promote healthy skinDuring the early teen years, many new strains of C. acnes colonize the skin on our faces. This could be an optimal time for probiotic treatment. The composition of bacterial populations living on our faces plays a significant role in the development of acne and other skin conditions such as eczema. Two species of bacteria…
