Rapid protein catch-bonds research offers pathways into cancer treatment and tackling plastic pollution
Assistant Professor Marcelo Melo and researchers from Auburn University have uncovered details behind the mechanical process of protein catch-bonds with the help of AI modeling. New understandings of protein interactions could inform future research into cancer treatment or tackling plastic pollution.
Understanding health at the cellular level
Biochemists and molecular biologists in the College of Natural Sciences are fascinated by the microscopic, tiny building blocks of life: cells. A deeper understanding of our cells is critical to advancing human health.
Study demonstrates how frequent wildfires and heat intensify air quality issues in megacities
Research from Colorado State University begins to unpack and characterize the issue of air quality in New York City. The research quantifies how existing particulate pollution from various sources are combining with wildfire smoke to create secondary, often more toxic, pollution or contribute to the formation of ozone in hot weather.
