As muscles age, their cells lose the ability to regenerate and heal after injury. Cornell Engineering researchers have created the most comprehensive portrait to date of how that change, in mice, unfolds over time and across the complicated architecture of muscle tissue. “The fundamental question that drove the initial study was really a question that had perplexed the skeletal muscle biology...

The Weill Institute has awarded Postdoctoral researcher Si Chen the 2024 Sam and Nancy Fleming Research Fellowship. This prestigious three-year fellowship supports talented young researchers who are doing cutting-edge research in basic biomedical sciences and are planning careers in biological or medical research. “The Fleming Fellowships provide exceptional young scientists the support and...

A new tool, called PIONEER, harnesses the power of AI and deep machine learning models to solve and predict how human proteins might interface and interact with other proteins. The tool can greatly accelerate fundamental research, clinical precision medicine and the development of therapies or the application of existing drugs to treat all types of disorders. “What we did here is solve...

Led by Dapeng Xiong, Yunguang Qiu, Junfei Zhao, Yadi Zhou, and Dongjin Lee, the Yu lab and collaborators have published an article in Nature Biotechnology that presents an ensemble deep learning framework, termed PIONEER (Protein–protein InteractiOn iNtErfacE pRediction), that predicts protein-binding partner-specific interfaces for all known protein interactions in humans, and seven other...
