Study finds a nutrition-based solution to restore milk production during warm weather

Rising temperatures pose major challenges to the dairy industry – a Holstein's milk production can decline 30 to 70% in warm weather – but a new Cornell University-led study has found a nutrition-based solution to restore milk production during heat-stress events, while also pinpointing the cause of the decline.

New sample pre-treatment method enables efficient protein recovery

The cells’ proteins contain a huge world of information that, when unlocked, can shed light on the causes of many fundamental biological occurrences. To observe the properties of individual cells at the protein level, a single-cell analysis method known as “single-cell proteomics” is used.

Computer-based natural language processing model generates de novo protein sequences in a high-throughput fashion

Customized protein design is now possible, thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), which can be used to address both medicinal and environmental issues. Now, a computer-based natural language processing model has been effectively used for protein research by a team at the University of Bayreuth under the direction of Prof. Dr Birte Höcker.

Researchers analyze how cannabis cells make cannabinoids

Plant biologists have outlined the elevated “hacks” that cannabis cells use to produce cannabinoids (THC/CBD) for the first time. Although many biotechnology firms are currently attempting to engineer THC/CBD outside of the plant in yeast or cell cultures, it is still unclear how the plant does it innately.

Research findings likely to help identify key differences between effective and flawed immune systems

T cells, a special class of white blood cells, defend the body and kill infected or foreign tissue. In an organ called the thymus, they learn to distinguish between proteins that are helpful and those that are harmful.
