The Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) today announced a research partnership with MitoQ New Zealand to examine the potential role of MitoQ® (mitoquinol mesylate), a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant, in supporting healthy ageing. Building on existing scientific literature, the partnership aims to generate evidence on whether MitoQ® can slow or improve markers of biological ageing and support longevity potential. The joint study will also evaluate the effectiveness of biological ageing clocks in assessing health supplements and other interventions more rapidly than conventional long-term clinical trials.

The UK‑led OpenBind initiative has reached a major milestone with the release of its first publicly available dataset , a groundbreaking step toward accelerating the discovery of new medicines using artificial intelligence. The release makes high‑quality, standardised experimental data freely accessible to researchers worldwide, providing AI-ready data to address the most persistent barriers in AI‑driven therapeutic development.

Inside every human cell, proteins are constantly being tagged with small chemical modifications after they’re produced. Known as post-translational modifications, or PTMs, these can change how a protein folds, where it travels and how it behaves. Now, scientists at Scripps Research have shown that PTMs also play a major role in determining whether proteins can bind to drug-like molecules.

A new model to predict how language changes over time has been developed by a statistical physicist at the University of Portsmouth.  

New research, led by Penn State physicists, demonstrates that ordinary adhesive tape has a specialized type of material memory capable of storing a sequence of multiple memories that can be fine-tuned to have different strengths or be erased to make way for new memories.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers measured the composition of a mini-Neptune inside the orbit of a hot Jupiter. They say this highly unusual planetary system probably formed out beyond its star’s “frostline,” in the colder region of the system’s early disk of protoplanetary material.

New findings from researchers at Florida International University show that sargassum seaweed can serve as a promising source of alginate, a widely used food additive.

Determining how ice is affected by neighboring meltwater is key to understanding and eventually reducing global ice loss, so in Physics of Fluids, researchers used pairs of ice cylinders to study how meltwater from one ice structure alters the melting of another. They towed two pieces of cylindrical ice through water, with the two pieces melting as they traveled, and systematically changed the gap between them. Using a combination of imaging techniques, they measured how the shapes and melt rates of the ice cylinders changed over time.
