Hybrigenics completes First Protein Interaction Map of Bacterial Pathogen in Nature
Free Licence to Access this Protein Interaction Map Available to Academic Researchers on the Web Paris, France Hybrigenics, the functional proteomics company, announced today the completion of the first protein interaction map of a human bacterial pathogen: Helicobacter pylori. This large-scale protein interaction was generated by HYBRIGENICS,... view more... (2001-01-10)
Protein plays broader role than originally thought in neurofibromatosis
Neurofibromatosis type I is a common genetic disorder in which tumors grow along certain types of nerves and can also affect other tissues such as bone, heart, and skin. view more (2006-08-11)
Enzyme shreds Alzheimer's protein
An enzyme found naturally in the brain snips apart the protein that forms the sludge called amyloid plaque that is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), researchers have found. view more (2006-09-21)
Researchers discover molecular basis of a form of muscular dystrophy
A team of French and German researchers report in the May 2008 print issue of The FASEB Journal (http://www.fasebj.org) that people with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy are missing a protein called c-FLIP, which the body uses to prevent the loss of muscle tissue. view more (2008-04-30)
When is a stem cell not really a stem cell?
Working with embryonic mouse brains, a team of Johns Hopkins scientists seems to have discovered an almost-too-easy way to distinguish between "true" neural stem cells and similar, but less potent versions. view more (2007-08-27)
Xie Lab uncovers molecular machinery related to stem cell fate
The Stowers Institute's Xie Lab has revealed how the BAM protein affects germline stem cell differentiation and how it is involved in regulating the quality of stem cells through intercellular competition. view more (2009-06-29)
Destroying amyloid proteins with lasers
Researchers have found that a technique used to visualize amyloid fibers in the laboratory might have the potential to destroy them in the clinic. view more (2009-01-08)
Researchers identify a process that regulates seed germination
Purdue University researchers have determined a process that regulates activity of genes that control seed germination and seedling development. view more (2009-03-12)
Promising new treatment for Alzheimer's suggested based on Hebrew University research
Research carried out at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has resulted in a promising approach to help treat Alzheimer's disease in a significant proportion of the population that suffers from a particularly rapid development of this disease. view more (2009-07-21)
Protein analysis methods, viral vectors featured in Cold Spring Harbor Protocols
Many proteins do not function by themselves as stand-alone units. Instead, multiple proteins associate to form larger structures called protein complexes. view more (2009-05-05)
Scientists discover novel way to remove iron from ferritin
A new study led by Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute senior scientist, Elizabeth Theil, Ph.D., is the first to suggest that a small protein or heptapeptide (seven amino acids wrapped into one unit) could be used to accelerate the removal of iron from ferritin. view more (2007-11-05)
Novel mechanism for DNA replication discovered
Since the discovery of the structure of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953, the paradigm for DNA replication has stated that the DNA itself codes for the appropriate pairings for replication. view more (2005-09-30)
Pumpkin skin may scare away germs
The skin of that pumpkin you carve into a Jack-o'-Lantern to scare away ghosts and goblins on Halloween contains a substance that could put a scare into microbes that cause millions of cases of yeast infections in adults and infants each year. view more (2009-10-29)
Rice lab finds molecular clues to Wilson disease
Using a combination of computer simulations and cutting-edge lab experiments, physical biochemists at Rice University have discovered how a small genetic mutation -- which is known to cause Wilson disease -- subtly changes the structure of a large, complex protein that the body uses to keep copper from building up to toxic levels. view more (2008-08-20)
Anesthesia or hypothermia: Warning for Alzheimer's patients
Everyone knows that its important to keep a cool head, but a new study published online in The FASEB Journal shows that for Alzheimer's patients, a cool head may make the disease worse. view more (2009-03-12)
Egg P bodies protect maternal gene messages
A cell decides what proteins to make based on the messages it receives from its genome. Sometimes messages are held back to be read later, and in most cell types these delayed messages are stored and eventually marked for destruction in P bodies (processing bodies). view more (2008-08-11)
Glue inside the cell: Ubiquitin builds up an immune response
Ubiquitin is a small protein, which can be attached to other cellular proteins, a process known as ubiquitination. Discoveries in the 1980 th on a key function of ubiquitination in the regulation of protein degradation where awarded with the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 2004. view more (2007-10-22)
Discovery of new protein could provide new understanding of male fertility
Scientists have discovered a new enzyme involved in the degradation of proteins inside cells, a process that helps eliminate or recycle proteins that are no longer needed. view more (2007-08-03)
Bacterial protein mimics host to cripple defenses
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, a protein from a disease-causing bacterium slips into plant cells and imitates a key host protein in order to cripple the plant's defenses. view more (2005-12-23)
