The AI tool AlphaFold has been improved so that it can now predict the shape of very large and complex protein structures. Researchers have also succeeded in integrating experimental data into the tool. The results are a step toward more efficient development of new proteins for, among other things, medical drugs.

Stem cells grown in microgravity aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have unique qualities that could one day help accelerate new biotherapies and heal complex disease, researchers say. The research analysis finds microgravity can strengthen the regenerative potential of cells. Microgravity is weightlessness or near-zero gravity.
