...n from these organisms how to set up a system that churns out proteins with enormous variability, it may be possible to target these new proteins to specific cells to treat disease," said Stephen McMahon, a former postdoctoral fellow in Ghosh's lab who conducted much of the research. "This idea has already......rvival of corals around the world when the weather churns the oceans in the years to come, according to a new model that relies on engineering principles. The increasing violence of storms associated with global climate change, as well as future tsunamis, will have major effects on coral reefs, according t...
