- 1Mathematical models used to decode cellular communication●Unpicking cellular communication with mathematical models
Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute are using mathematical models to study how cells communicate with one another. By applying computational approaches to biological data, the work aims to unpick the signalling processes that coordinate behaviour between cells, with potential relevance to understanding development, disease and tissue function. The institute says modelling offers a way to interpret complex cellular interactions that are difficult to observe directly.
- 2New Web Tool Maps Atomic Interactions That Drive Protein Function▼New Web Tool Maps the Atomic Handshakes That Decide What Proteins Do
A new web tool has been introduced that maps the atomic-level interactions, described as 'handshakes,' which determine what proteins do. The tool aims to help researchers visualize and understand how individual atoms in protein structures interact, knowledge that could aid drug discovery and the study of disease mechanisms. It is being covered as a notable development in computational biology and protein research.

Apple has made it more difficult for AI agents to access and control Mac computers, according to a report by PYMNTS. The move appears to restrict how automated AI tools can interact with the operating system, potentially affecting developers building agent-based software. It comes as Apple continues to position itself carefully on AI, balancing its own Apple Intelligence strategy against third-party agents seeking deep system access.
