New blood test could detect ovarian cancer early, improve treatment

High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most common type of ovarian cancer. It is also the most lethal form, in part because clinicians do not have effective ways to screen women for it...

Eastern equine encephalitis virus study uncovers decoy molecule that protects against deadly brain infection

An atomic-level investigation of how Eastern equine encephalitis virus binds to a key receptor and gets inside of cells also has enabled the discovery of a decoy molecule that protects against the potentially deadly...

Illuminating Druggable Sites on Proteins

Scientists from Scripps Research report that they have developed a novel method to examine how proteins interact with drug-like small molecules in human cells—revealing critical information about how to potentially target them therapeutically. Their study,...

Greener and feasible production: Enzymatic methods for mono- and diacylglycerol synthesis in the food...

MAGs, predominantly in 1(3)-MAG form, and DAGs, with 1,3-DAGs as the more stable isomer, are crucial in food, cosmetic, and other industries. While MAGs are vital emulsifiers, comprising 75% of global production, DAGs are...
