The snacks giant is ensuring that cleaner ingredients don’t compromise taste or color, especially as consumers send mixed ...

It’s a decade since Beyond Meat first made waves with its plant-based Beyond Burger in the US, a signature product that helped fuel its IPO in 2019. No one at that time could have predicted the ...

Thousands of previously “invisible” microproteins—tiny chains of fewer than 100 amino acids—can profoundly change human biology when mutated. A fundamental discovery is overturning decades of ...

An international research team led by Konrad Meister from Boise State University’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research has identified a new class ...

Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

“A central goal of neuroscience is to develop an understanding of the brain that ultimately describes the mechanistic basis of human cognition and behavior,” said Jeremy Herskowitz, Ph.D., associate ...

Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the fundamental building blocks of proteins. They play a crucial role in the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. Amino ...

However, a new frontier in nanotechnology is beginning to crack this barrier, offering a novel approach to plant engineering that could redefine the field. In recent research, published in Advanced ...

AI protein function prediction uses machine learning models trained on sequence and structural data to infer protein roles at scale. Techniques such as transformer-based models enable automated ...
