By Hugo Francisco de SouzaA new study maps the biological influences on thousands of plasma proteins, revealing potential disease biomarkers and drug targets, providing hope for more precise, ...

A database of proteins, dubbed the “unknome”, that ranks proteins according to how much we have learned about them has revealed that we still know next to nothing about thousands of human ...

The combination of 5 proteins showed predictive ability for MASLD up to 16 years, with accuracy varying across time frames: AUCs, 0.857, 0.775, 0.739, and 0.758 for 5 years, 10 years, more than 10 ...

A screen of human-infecting viruses identified extensive examples of viral proteins that resembled human sequences, ... but if a pathogen with this same mimicked protein invades the body, ...

The researchers then used an immunoassay technique to evaluate expression of these five candidate proteins in a validation cohort which was composed of Japanese patients with severe COVID-19.

Oct. 1, 2024 — Some proteins in the human body are easy to block with a drug; they have an obvious spot in their structure where a drug can fit, like a key in a lock.

A.I. Turns Its Artistry to Creating New Human Proteins. ... have shown that neural networks can accurately guess the three-dimensional shape of any protein in the body based just on the smaller ...
