Google DeepMind Open Sources AlphaFold 3 AI Model to Help Researchers in Drug Discovery
Google DeepMind has silently open-sourced its frontier artificial intelligence (AI) model that can predict the interaction between proteins and other molecules. Dubbed AlphaFold 3, the large language model is the successor of AlphaFold 2, whose research led to the creators of the large language model (LLM) Demis Hassabis and John Jumper getting the...

New UCLA Therapy Shows Promise in Preventing Heart Failure After Heart Attacks
UCLA’s Broad Center researchers have developed an antibody therapy to help the heart heal after a heart attack. This therapy, which blocks the ENPP1 protein, reduces scar tissue formation that can lead to heart failure. Early tests showed that treated animals had less scarring and a reduced risk of severe heart failure. With plans for human trial...

New Tardigrade Species Hypsibius henanensis Reveals Unique Radiation Survival Mechanisms
Chinese biologists have discovered how a newly found tardigrade species, Hypsibius henanensis, can endure extreme radiation levels. Researchers identified three unique mechanisms that support this resilience: a TRID1 protein enabling DNA repair, mitochondrial proteins that enhance cellular defense, and high antioxidant production. This discovery en...

Climate Change Could Make Earth's Oldest Microorganisms Dominant in Oceans, Study Reveals
New research highlights a significant shift in marine ecosystems due to climate change. Prokaryotes, the oldest and smallest microorganisms on Earth, are expected to become more dominant as ocean temperatures rise. These microorganisms, which include bacteria and archaea, play a crucial role in marine nutrient cycles and food chains. However, their...
