Animal food allergens unmasked
The relatedness of an animal food protein to a human protein determines whether it can cause allergy, according to new research by scientists from the Institute of Food Research in Norwich and the Medical University of Vienna.   view more (2007-10-15)

Gene Function Breakthrough
A breakthrough in understanding the functions of human genes has been reported by scientists working at the Wellcome Trust Biocentre at the University of Dundee.   view more (2002-01-08)

ETH Researchers Open New Perspectives for Biotechnology
Metabolic and biochemical reactions are basically the same in all living beings, or at least comparable. The genetic codes of all living beings, that is to say of bacteria, plants, fungii and animals, are made up of the same set of building blocks. Human genes are therefore correctly translated... view more (2002-11-28)

Human Cytomegalovirus May Be Involved In Colorectal Cancer (p 1557)
Preliminary findings of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that a common human virus may play a part in the cellular processes involved in the development of colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is the second most frequent cause of death from cancer in many developed countries;... view more (2002-11-13)

Human Proteinpedia, a portal to share human protein data among the scientific community
Today, scientists have access to a large amount of biological information through the Internet. Nevertheless, these databases do not always have the endorsement of experimental evidence, and are usually distributed in several web locations, a fact that makes information retrieval difficult to... view more (2008-03-17)

Something fishy in human blood could save lives
Thousands of people with liver and kidney disease die every year from too much ammonia in their blood, and scientists from the United States and Japan have found a possible solution.   view more (2007-03-30)

Elastic interactions of membrane proteins
Cellular survival relies crucially on the ability to receive and communicate signals from and to the outside world. A major part of this regulation and communication is performed by proteins within the membrane of a cell.   view more (2007-05-04)

The precise role of seminal proteins in sustaining post-mating responses in fruit flies
Successful reproduction is critical to pass genes to the next generation. In sexually reproducing organisms, sperm enter the female with seminal proteins that are vital for fertility.   view more (2007-12-18)

How actin networks are actin'
Dynamic networks of growing actin filaments are critical for many cellular processes, including cell migration, intracellular transport, and the recovery of proteins from the cell surface.   view more (2008-01-03)

New role for sugars: Research shows connections between sugar modifications in cells and cancer
In a ground-breaking study published in the top journal, Cell, Dr. James Dennis, senior investigator at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute at Mount Sinai Hospital, has discovered a new role for sugars on proteins.   view more (2007-04-06)

FURTHER STEPS TOWARDS A VACCINE AGAINST HIV
For white blood cells in the human body to be infected by the HIV virus, proteins in the virus must be allowed to interact with a number of different components on the surface of the white blood cell. Ideally anti-HIV preventive therapy or vaccines would prevent several of these interactions taking... view more (1999-03-11)

Light shed on vision and hearing disorders
The most common hereditary condition that affects both hearing and vision is Usher Syndrome (USH). In the next issue of The EMBO Journal, scientists at the Institut Pasteur report on studies that have established the first link between Myosin VIIa, Cadherin 23 and Harmonin b. These three proteins... view more (2002-12-16)

Bug factories for drugs: quality control holds key to quantity
Tiny types of soil bugs already make many of the products we use in washing detergents, foods, and waste treatment, but scientists now hope that similar bacteria will also make the vaccines and drugs of the future, according to new research presented today (Tuesday, 07 September 2004) at the... view more (2004-08-23)

£11.5m for new structural proteomics research programmes
BBSRC has announced two new research programmes that together will receive £11.5m under the Structural Proteomics of Rational Targets Initiative (SPoRT). The Membrane Protein Structure Initiative (MPSI), a consortium of experienced membrane research groups at universities and institutes... view more (2004-06-17)

New technique can be breakthrough for early cancer diagnosis
Early detection of disease is often critical to how successful treatment can be. Therefore, the development of new methods of diagnosis is a hot research field, where every small step is of great importance. In an article in the latest issue of Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, Uppsala... view more (2007-09-12)

Dartmouth, GlycoFi researchers make leap in protein bioengineering
Investigators at Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering, the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, and the biotechnology firm GlycoFi, Inc., report a breakthrough in using yeast to produce antibodies with human sugar structures.   view more (2006-01-23)

ESRF lightsource helps tailoring new treatments against asthma
Researchers from Sweden and France have deciphered the crystal structure of a human membrane protein which has a major influence on the development of asthma.   view more (2007-08-03)

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)

University of Kent signs licensing deal with Delta Biotechnology Limited
The University of Kent has recently concluded negotiations with Delta Biotechnology - a company with more than twenty years experience in the expression of heterologous proteins - to allow licensing of the technology covered by the University's patent process for increasing the production of... view more (2004-02-05)

Yale researchers make cell biology quantitative
Yale researchers have reported a method to count the absolute number of individual protein molecules inside a living cell, and to measure accurately where they are located, two basic hurdles for studying biology quantitatively.   view more (2005-10-20)

Global signaling study suggests cancer link to protein promiscuity
When found at abnormally high concentrations, two proteins implicated in many human cancers have the potential to spur indiscriminate biochemical signaling inside cells.   view more (2005-11-17)

A protein interaction map for a better insight in cancer development
With the completion of the genome sequence of a number of organisms, analysis of the gene products, the proteins, is the on-going challenge.   view more (2005-02-28)

Dysentery uses 'sword and shield' to cause infection
Scientists have found that the bacterium that causes dysentery uses a 'sword and shield' approach to cause infection.   view more (2005-02-23)

Cancer Conundrum Cracked
Cancer researchers at the University of Dundee have just turned a common cancer belief on its head saying that a group of proteins previously believed to cause cancer can also be used in the fight against cancer. Dr Neil Perkins and his team in the School of Life Sciences have identified that... view more (2004-03-25)
