The inaugural Genetic Agency Technology Conference (GATC) gathered a group of researchers and entrepreneurs to discuss the vision for AI-based genetic medicine.
Prions transmit their abnormally folded shape onto other proteins. Researchers designed a synthetic fragment of the tau protein that exhibits prion-like behavior. Misfolded tau proteins are the ...
Sonia Vallabh always thought genome editing wouldn’t be an option. It was such an obvious solution that people invariably asked, “What about CRISPR?” at the end of talks. But the details never made ...

Mechanical model reveals how prions trigger a domino effect to spread misfolded proteins
Prions, mysterious shape-shifting proteins, can lead to brain disorders such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans and bovine spongiform encephalopathy, "mad cow disease" in cattle, yet they can also ...
In the field of COVID-19 research, attention has turned to a critical aspect: the prion region on the surface spike proteins of the virus and its implications, especially in the context of mRNA ...
