Moonlighting enzyme linked to neurodegenerative disease
Friedreich's ataxia is one of those diseases few have heard of unless you know someone with the condition. For that individual -- usually a child or teenager -- it is devastating. view more (2007-04-25)
NYU, Scripps finding offers new path for treatment of diabetes
Researchers at New York University and the Scripps Research Institute have discovered a new enzyme, GAPDH, which regulates insulin pathways-a finding that offers a new direction for the treatment of diabetes. view more (2006-11-28)
University of Iowa scientists use blood-brain barrier as therapy delivery system
The blood brain barrier is generally considered an obstacle to delivering therapies from the bloodstream to the brain. However, University of Iowa researchers have discovered a way to turn the blood vessels surrounding brain cells into a production and delivery system for getting therapeutic molecules directly into brain cells. view more (2009-09-22)
UVa Health System Team Uncovers Gene's Role in Type 1 Diabetes
Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System have identified an enzyme thought to be an important instigator of the inner-body conflict that causes Type 1 diabetes. view more (2007-11-08)
Scientists discover why plague is so lethal
Bacteria that cause the bubonic plague may be more virulent than their close relatives because of a single genetic mutation, according to research published in the May issue of the journal Microbiology. view more (2008-05-05)
Nanoreactors for Reaction Cascades
Living cells are highly complex synthetic machines: Numerous multistep reactions run simultaneously side by side and with unbelievable efficiency and specificity. For these mainly enzymatic reactions to work so well collectively, nature makes use of a variety of concepts. view more (2007-08-21)
Vitamin D protects cells from stress that can lead to cancer
By inducing a specific gene to increase expression of a key enzyme, vitamin D protects healthy prostate cells from the damage and injuries that can lead to cancer, University of Rochester Medical Center researchers report. view more (2008-05-14)
Oxford Biomedical and Kiadis agree collaborative programme on wound healing
Oxford, United Kingdom and Leiden, The Netherlands. 28 January 2003 - Oxford BioMedica plc ('Oxford BioMedica') and Kiadis BV ('Kiadis') have agreed a joint programme directed, in the first instance, at wound healing. The global market for wound healing is estimated to be in excess of $1 billion. Oxford BioMedica has used its Focused Target... view more... (2003-01-28)
New cancer drug possible from compound found in common food.
A compound found in many foods and drinks could form the basis for new drugs to defeat cancer and heart disease, scientists at UCL claimed today. Professor Peter Shepherd and his team believe that caffeine and theophylline- compounds commonly found in cola beverages, coffee, tea and chocolate - block the operation of a key enzyme linked to a wide... view more...

Newly found enzymes may play early role in cancer
Researchers have discovered two enzymes that, when combined, could be involved in the earliest stages of cancer. Manipulating these enzymes genetically might lead to targeted therapies aimed at slowing or preventing the onset of tumors. view more (2008-12-29)
Algae could one day be major hydrogen fuel source
As gas prices continue to soar to record highs, motorists are crying out for an alternative that won't cramp their pocketbooks. view more (2008-04-02)
Children susceptible to pesticides longer than expected, study finds
Although it is known that infants are more susceptible than adults to the toxic effects of pesticides, this increased vulnerability may extend much longer into childhood than expected. view more (2009-06-23)
How corals adapt to day and night
Researchers have uncovered a gene in corals that responds to day/night cycles, which provides some tantalizing clues into how symbiotic corals work together with their plankton partners. view more (2008-09-15)
Study shows Darwin was wrong about the origins of chickens
A novel genetic study has revealed why chickens have yellow legs, demonstrating that though Charles Darwin was right about many things, his view on the origins of the chicken was not entirely correct. view more (2008-03-03)
UC Santa Barbara scientists clarify molecular basis of interferon action
Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara have made a significant discovery relating to viral infections in humans. view more (2007-07-20)
Relationship between environmental stress and cancer elucidated
One way environmental stress causes cancer is by reducing the activity level of an enzyme that causes cell death, researchers say. view more (2007-11-06)
Defeating the 'superpests'
Scientists have developed a new technique that makes pesticides more effective by removing insects' ability to exhibit resistance. view more (2005-10-10)
Study offers innovative profile of enzyme that aids tumor growth
To date, understanding the roles of uncharacterized enzymes in cell physiology and pathology has remained problematic. view more (2006-10-23)
Gaining Ground in the Race Against Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic resistance has put humans in an escalating 'arms race' with infectious bacteria, as scientists try to develop new antibiotics faster than the bacteria can evolve new resistance strategies. view more (2005-09-20)
Clue to genetic cause of fatal birth defect
A novel enzyme may play a major role in anencephaly, offering hope for a genetic test or even therapy for the rare fatal birth defect in which the brain fails to develop, according to a study from researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine. view more (2008-10-10)
