Devleena Samanta led a team to develop a new kind of sensor that can be used to find unique fingerprints of cancers, infections and neurodegenerative diseases. DNA-barcoded plasmonic nanostructures ...

Detecting cancer in the earliest stages could dramatically reduce cancer deaths because cancers are usually easier to treat when caught early. To help achieve that goal, MIT and Microsoft researchers ...

Protein-splitting enzymes play an important role in many physiological processes. Such proteases are generally present in an inactive state, only becoming activated under certain conditions. Some are ...

The latest advances in genome sequencing indicate proteases occur naturally in all organisms and account for about 2% of the human genome and 1–5% of genomes of infectious organisms. The human genome ...

Brensocatib has demonstrated efficacy in reducing neutrophil serine protease activity and symptom burden in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. GLP-1 inhibitors show potential in managing obstructive ...
