MSU researchers detail molecular mechanisms driving adaptive immune response

Researchers developed a tool to observe complex molecular choreography in real-time, shedding light on how a key protein locates the correct regions of the genome to initiate an adaptive response. The study proposes that transcription produces a 'dynamic RNA hub' that recruits the DNA mutator protein AID.

MSU study demonstrates faster discovery of therapeutic drugs through AI

A team of researchers at MSU used machine learning to predict how chemicals will influence gene expression, leading to the discovery of promising compounds for the treatment of liver cancer and a chronic lung disease. The study results from years of interdisciplinary work across multiple disciplines and institutes.
