Scientists are studying the unique physiological mechanisms of Burmese pythons to develop potential medical treatments for human cardiac and metabolic disorders.

Virginia Tech researchers have developed RNAbpFlow, a tool that uses flow matching to map 3D RNA structures to aid in identifying potential drug targets. The system is particularly effective for analyzing RNAs that lack known relatives, offering an alternative to models dependent on evolutionary data.

Anthropic launched Claude Science, a platform that uses Basecamp Research's EDEN models to help researchers identify and prioritize therapeutic candidates.
