Now this is a paper that’ll make your head spin. It’s from the Zhu group at Tsinghua University, and the head-spinning will be both because […]
I don’t do a lot of posts on plant biochemistry here, but this news is pretty notable, and it illustrates several points that apply across […]
I last wrote about Deepmind’s efforts to predict protein folding and structure here, with their AlphaFold software. AlphaFold really performed very strongly in the 2020 […]
5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has been around a long time now (over fifty years), and it’s a standard oncology drug (particularly in colorectal treatment regimes). But try […]

I’m really glad to see this Perspective article in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, not least because it hits on a theme that I emphasize […]
For many years now, the topic of “senescent cells” has been the subject of plenty of research work. Back in the 1960s the “Hayflick limit” […]
There’s some really interesting CRISPR news out today, and it’s likely to be a forerunner of much more news to come. A research team has […]
I’ve had several requests for comment on this recent PNAS paper, which talks about integration of SARS-CoV-2 sequences into the DNA of human cells. I’m […]
Let’s put this one in the category of “more things that we didn’t know about human biology”. We’ve known for some time now about ribozymes […]
