Many life-saving drugs directly interact with DNA to treat diseases such as cancer, but scientists have struggled to detect how and why they work—until now.

In a paper published in the journal Nature Biotechnology, University of Cambridge researchers have outlined a new DNA sequencing method that can detect where and how small molecule drugs interact with the targeted genome.

“Understanding how drugs work in the body is essential to creating better, more effective therapies,” said co-first author Dr. Zutao Yu from the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry. “But when a therapeutic drug enters a cancer cell with a genome that has three billion bases, it’s like entering a black box.”

A new technique to restore the organs in a body all at once could one day help get much-needed organs to those waiting on the transplant list.

Summary: Study reveals a skin-to-brain neural circuit that responds to rewarding forms of social touch. Researchers say the findings could provide an avenue for harnessing the power of touch to assist in treating social and emotional disorders.

A parent’s reassuring touch. A friend’s warm hug. A lover’s enticing embrace. These are among the tactile joys in our lives.

Multi-decade study describes how Earth’s core dynamics are slowing leading to speculation about what the length of a day will be in the distant future.

Seismic readings show a slowing since 2009. Should sci-fi fans be concerned?

Out solar system will soon be getting a new explorer, as a mission to study the moons of Jupiter readies for launch.

The European Space Agency’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer mission, or JUICE, is scheduled for launch in just a few months’ time, so the spacecraft is now being packed up at its testing location in Toulouse, France, for transport to its launch location in French Guiana.

The spacecraft recently went through its final round of testing, including a thermal vacuum test to ensure it can handle the cold temperatures of space, and the system validation test in which the immediate steps after launch are simulated, like the deploying of booms and arrays that will happen in space.

The device could gather more in-depth information about individual neurons.

Maintaining eye contact is crucial to establishing engagement and trust in a conversation. This can be challenging in a video conference because it requires participants to look at the camera instead of the screen. The NVIDIA Maxine Eye Contact feature creates an in-person experience for virtual meetings. Powered by AI, Maxine Eye Contact directs your eyes to a centered position to maintain eye contact with your audience. Eye Contact is available to developers through the Maxine Augmented Reality SDK at https://developer.nvidia.com/maxine#ar-sdk.
