The discovery has vast implications for cancer treatment, showing that “starve the tumor” strategies are unlikely to be effective.
View ArticlePrinceton researchers find a path toward Hep E treatment by disentangling its...
The hepatitis E virus protein ORF1 contains a region that scientists have struggled to characterize, making the structure and function of this region the subject of much debate. Now, Princeton...
View ArticleOne is bad enough: Climate change raises the threat of multiple hurricanes
Getting hit with one hurricane is bad enough, but new research from Princeton Engineering shows that back-to-back versions may become common for many areas in coming decades.
View ArticleHow to see the invisible: Using the dark matter distribution to test our...
A Princeton-led team of astrophysicists has measured a surprising value for the “clumpiness” of the universe’s dark matter.
View ArticleIlluminating chromatin: Muir and MacMillan labs light the way
Princeton chemists used MacMillan's µMap, a molecular mapping technology, to watch tiny changes in a DNA-protein complex called chromatin — essentially, an architecture that allows for the compaction...
