Researchers completed a draft map of the human proteome—the set of all proteins in the human body. The map will help advance studies of human health and disease.


A small dose of laser light activated stem cells in rat molars to generate dentin, a major component of teeth. The finding may lead to new approaches to tooth repair.


Scientists determined the structure of the NMDA receptor, an ion channel involved in many brain-related illnesses. The finding may aid in the development of future therapies.
