Zinc is an essential mineral that is naturally present in some foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. Zinc is also found in many cold lozenges and some over-the-counter drugs sold as cold remedies.
An artificial intelligence (AI) program may enable the first simple production of customizable proteins called zinc fingers to treat diseases by turning genes on and off.
CTCF is a critical protein known to play various roles in key biological processes such as transcription. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital used a next-generation protein degradation technology to study CTCF.
It's a good news, bad news story. Patients whose brain tumors have a mutated enzyme called IDH1 typically live longer than those without the mutation.
Researchers document COVID-19 screening results in Italy of 556 flight passengers from two Chinese provinces in late December 2022.
RUDN University chemists, biologists and physicians have found a simple way to predict the properties of compounds of drugs with metals.
Diarrhea is no longer the killer it was in the mid-20th century, when an estimated 4.5 million children under age 5 died of it every year.
Vaping can lead to exposure to metals, with lead levels exceeding tolerance limits in most of the analyzed samples.

Healthy diets are rich in antioxidants like amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin C, but exactly how beneficial these micronutrients are for cardiovascular health has long been controversial.
Rapid, cheap and accurate tests continue to be essential for epidemiological surveillance and for health services to monitor and contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Brazilian scientists have contributed to endeavors in this field by developing an electrochemical immunosensor that detects antibodies against the virus.
Researchers developed a genetic clone mapping workflow centered around base-specific in situ sequencing (BaSISS) technology to derive quantitative maps of multiple genetic clones of cancer cells.
Using an approach based on CRISPR proteins, MIT researchers have developed a new way to precisely control the amount of a particular protein that is produced in mammalian cells.
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has developed a novel nanotechnology that triggers potent therapeutic anti-tumor immune responses and demonstrated its efficacy in mouse models of multiple cancers.
Nanoparticles, or tiny molecules that can deliver a payload of drug treatments and other agents, show great promise for treating cancers.
Researchers explored genomic rearrangements in monkeypox virus genomes and investigated whether such rearrangements represented viral adaption to humans (host).
Researchers evaluated the associations between low meal frequency (LMF) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
A research team from the University of Huelva in collaboration with the MilkCORONA initiative has demonstrated that the SARS-CoV-2 virus alters the composition of breast milk.
Researchers assessed the function of micronutrients and metabolites derived from gut microbiota in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) recovery.
Revealing zinc's interaction with a critical transport protein underscores the need to study biological pathways under physiologically relevant conditions.
In a new study, researchers reviewed existing literature on the biomedical waste source, elements, and the recent upsurge of microplastics during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
