New technique appears to stop abnormal blood vessel growth
A manmade protein with a tail of amino acids delivered to target cells can dramatically reduce blood vessel growth that obstructs vision or feeds a tumor, researchers have found. view more (2005-06-01)
MicroRNAs play a big part in gene regulation-and evolution
egulating when and where certain proteins are made is crucial to the normal functioning of living things. To make proteins, information from DNA is transcribed into RNA molecules and then translated into the amino acids building blocks of proteins. view more (2005-06-24)
Protein folding: Diverse methods yield clues
Rice University physicists have written the next chapter in an innovative approach for studying the forces that shape proteins -- the biochemical workhorses of all living things. view more (2009-08-07)
Do high dietary intakes of trans fats really promote cardiovascular disease?
From his assessment of the studies, Dr John Stanley says the conclusion that trans fatty acids promote cardiovascular disease is premature for the following reasons. First, although prospective cohort studies show an association with cardiovascular disease, trans fatty acids are estimated rather than measured. They may also be markers for some... view more...

Choosing healthy embryos in IVF
A revolutionary method for detecting which human embryos are most likely to develop successfully to the stage at which they implant in the womb has been developed by scientists at the University of York and clinicians at Leeds General Infirmary. The research has been funded by the Medical Research Council. The discovery, if confirmed in clinical... view more... (2002-05-07)
Comprehensive model is first to map protein folding at atomic level
Scientists at Harvard University have developed a computer model that, for the first time, can fully map and predict how small proteins fold into three-dimensional, biologically active shapes. view more (2006-11-07)
Researchers study signaling networks that set up genetic code
In a new study, researchers at the University of Illinois have identified and visualized the signaling pathways in protein-RNA complexes that help set the genetic code in all organisms. view more (2009-04-15)
The sweet science: Viruses switch grip to gain upper hand
Carbohydrates can be attractive, especially when they come packaged in candy bars or never-ending bowls of pasta. view more (2006-09-14)
'Sticky' mice lead to discovery of new cause of neurodegenerative disease
When a faulty protein wreaks havoc in cells and causes disease, researchers are usually quick to point the finger at a wayward gene. Now scientists are learning that some neurodegenerative diseases can develop even though a gene is perfectly normal. view more (2006-08-14)
Small molecule derived from Rb2/p130 could act as cancer therapeutic
A small molecule derived from the spacer domain of the tumor-suppressor gene Rb2/p130 has demonstrated the ability to inhibit tumor growth in vivo and could be developed into an anti-cancer therapeutic, according to researchers at Temple University's Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine. view more (2007-03-21)
HIV pays a price for invisibility
Mutations that help HIV hide from the immune system undermine the virus's ability to replicate, show an international team of researchers in the April 13 issue of the Journal of Experimental Medicine. view more (2009-04-13)
'Disordered" Amino Acids May Really Be There to Provide Wiggle Room for Signaling Protein
Sections of proteins previously thought to be disordered may in fact have an unexpected biological role - providing certain proteins room to move. view more (2009-05-27)
Biologists probe the machinery of cellular protein factories
Proteins of all sizes and shapes do most of the work in living cells, and the DNA sequences in genes spell out the instructions for making those proteins. view more (2006-09-14)
Scientists identify proteins that help bacteria put up a fight
Scientists have identified the role of two proteins that contribute to disease-causing bacteria cells' versatility in resisting certain classes of antibiotics. view more (2008-02-26)
ESC Congress 2004: Fishy stuff or a real cure? - Contrary to popular belief, a Danish study now suggests that consumption of fish does not prevent atrial fibrillation
Danish scientists from the University Hospital in Aarhus have carried out a study that questions the effect of consuming n-3 fatty acids from fish on the prevention of atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is an irregularity of the heart rhythm that - if left untreated - may lead to stroke and death. Atrial fibrillation is most often treated... view more... (2004-08-31)
UW-Madison study reveals new options for people with PKU
For people with the genetic condition known as phenylketonuria (PKU), diet is a constant struggle. They can eat virtually no protein, and instead get their daily dose of this key macronutrient by drinking a bitter-tasting formula of amino acids. view more (2009-03-31)
UT-ORNL governor's chair unlocks secrets of protein folding
A team led by biophysicist Jeremy Smith of the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has taken a significant step toward unraveling the mystery of how proteins fold into unique, three-dimensional shapes. view more (2007-09-18)
New tool gives researchers a glimpse of biomolecules in motion
The ability of biomolecules to flex and bend is important for the performance of many functions within living cells. view more (2009-01-14)
Crystal structure enables tailoring of pharmaceuticals against asthma
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have managed to elucidate the crystal structure of a human membrane protein - LTC4 synthase - which has a major influence on the development of asthma. view more (2007-07-17)
Antiepileptic Drug Developed At Hebrew University To Undergo Phase Three Clinical Trials Under New Agreement
The new antiepileptic drug valrocemide, developed at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem by Meir Bialer, the David Eisenberg Professor of Pharmacy, will undergo phase three clinical trials in the U.S. under a new agreement between Teva Pharmaceutical Industries of Israel and Acorda Therapeutics of the U.S. Teva acquired the rights to the drug from... view more...
