Researchers have developed a novel synthetic ligand using AI-based computational protein design, activating the Notch signaling pathway in T-cells. This breakthrough enables broadened clinical T-cell production and advances immunotherapy development.
A new study uses molecular imaging to uncover structural defects in conjugated polymers formed through aldol condensation, a versatile and environmentally friendly synthesis method. By understanding these defects, researchers can develop more sustainable materials for electronics, computing, and other applications.
Researchers found that mangrove populations have nearly tripled in areas with oysters, leading to significant acidification of oyster reef sediment. Oyster shell dissolution could impact reef viability and services like filtration and storm surge reduction.
