Scientists have developed a molecular"syringe" that can inject proteins, including cancer-killing drugs and gene therapies, directly into human cells.

This raised the possibility that such syringes could be modified for use in humans.
"This could have taken many months," Kreitz said."With AlphaFold, we were able to obtain predicted structures of candidate tail fiber designs almost in real-time, significantly accelerating our efforts to reprogram this protein."
