A new study has developed what the researchers call the "world's first" simple, modifiable proteins. Called "zinc fingers," these special proteins were developed partially through artificial intelligence. Scientists from the University of Toronto and the NYU Grossman School of Medicine came up with the method, which is expected to speed...
