An Artificial Protein that Moves Like Something Found in Nature

2 weeks ago | ucsf.edu | Robin Marks

Proteins catalyze life by changing shape when they interact with other molecules. The result is a muscle twitching, the perception of light, or a bit of energy extracted from food. But this crucial ability has eluded the growing field of AI-augmented protein engineering. Now, researchers at UC San Francisco have shown it is possible to make new proteins that move and change shape like those in nature.
Can Gut Microbes Save Patients from Chemotherapy Side Effects?

2 weeks ago | ucsf.edu | Robin Marks

Chemotherapy doesn’t just kill cancer cells. It also affects the microbes in the digestive tract. Researchers at UC San Francisco have discovered that some gut bacteria can reduce the side effects of these potent treatments, and that one family of cancer drugs may actually boost these protective bacteria. The phenomenon could help physicians predict the severity of a patient’s side effects and points the way to supplements that could help those whose guts aren’t sufficiently protecting them.

3 weeks ago | ucsf.edu | Levi Gadye

Dementia usually affects older people, so when it occurs in middle age, it can be hard to recognize. The most common form is frontotemporal dementia (FTD), which is often mistaken for depression, schizophrenia, or Parkinson’s disease before the correct diagnosis is reached. Now, as part of an NIH-funded study, researchers at UC San Francisco have found some clues about how FTD develops that could lead to new diagnostics and get more patients into clinical trials.
