In the war between good and evil, I was there seeking to design powerful selfish strategies for investigating the defense mechanisms of cooperators. Surprisingly, the results serve a different domain of science. It gave me ...
For decades, cancer researchers have longed for a way to target a set of proteins called transcription factors. While we've long known that tumors use these proteins to grow out of control, their unique configurations meant ...
