Who found some new mechanisms of HBV virulence?
This dreadful HBV is small in size. The genome of this virus is a partial double stranded circle. When made fully double stranded, this genome carries about 3000 base pairs, compared to 200 kilo base pairs of the genome of the smallpox virus. view more (2008-02-25)

Gene therapy has emerged as a novel approach to combat HCV infection in the last few years. view more (2009-07-16)
Scientists discover influenza's Achilles heel: Antioxidants
As the nation copes with a shortage of vaccines for H1N1 influenza, a team of Alabama researchers have raised hopes that they have found an Achilles' heel for all strains of the flu-antioxidants. view more (2009-10-30)
Eating soy protein helps control cholesterol
Soy protein helps lower total cholesterol, low-density lipid "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides, and slightly raises high-density lipid "good" cholesterol. view more (2006-09-21)
Dr Lars Abrahmsén appointed Chief Scientific Officer of Affibody
Affibody today announced the strengthening of the management team by the appointment of Dr Lars Abrahmsén as Chief Scientific Officer. Lars Abrahmsén succeeds Stefan St'åhl, one of Affibody's founders. Professor St'åhl wished to return to academia, and has returned to his academic professorship, but remains as scientific... view more... (2004-01-27)
Burnham Researchers Turn Cancer Friend into Cancer Foe
Burnham Institute for Medical Research today announced that scientists have created a peptide that binds to Bcl-2, a protein that protects cancer cells from programmed cell death, and converts it into a cancer cell killer. view more (2008-10-08)
Protein transport in mitochondria revealed
The TIM23 complex, which regulates the transport of protein to the mitochondria in a cell, is much more complicated than was previously believed. This is shown by Uppsala University researcher Maria Lind in an article in the leading journal Cell. view more (2005-03-31)
Compound in wine reduces levels of Alzheimer's disease-causing peptides
A study published in the November 11 issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry shows that resveratrol, a compound found in grapes and red wine, lowers the levels of the amyloid-beta peptides which cause the telltale senile plaques of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-11-04)
New Diagnostic Faecal Test Could Identify Colorectal Cancer (p 1917)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe a new technique where the detection of a specific protein in faeces could be a marker for colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is a common disease (causing around 500,000 deaths each year worldwide), and screening methods that are more reliable than colonoscopy and... view more... (2002-05-29)
LGC wins DEFRA contract to screen cattle for the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) prion
LGC, the leading UK independent analytical laboratory for chemical, biochemical and DNA-based analysis, has been awarded a major UK Government contract to provide bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) testing on certain categories of cattle aged over 30 months for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). view more (2001-11-21)
Study reveals how a common virus eludes the immune system
Viruses have numerous tricks for dodging the immune system. In the September 7, 2009 issue of the Journal of Cell Biology, Stagg et al. reveal a key detail in one of these stratagems, identifying a protein that enables cyto¬megalovirus to shut down an antiviral defense (online August 31). view more (2009-08-31)
ESC Congress 2003: C-reactive protein, an inflammatory biomarker, predicts progression of aortic valve stenosis
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies a poster or oral session given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology Aortic stenosis (AS) is the narrowing or obstruction of the heart's aortic valve, which prevents it from... view more...

Brain cells help neighboring nerves regenerate
Researchers have uncovered a completely unexpected way that the brain repairs nerve damage, wherein cells known as astrocytes deliver a protective protein to nearby neurons. view more (2008-05-28)
New technology illuminates protein interactions in living cells
While fluorescence has long been used to tag biological molecules, a new technology developed at Yale allows researchers to use tiny fluorescent probes to rapidly detect and identify protein interactions within living cells while avoiding the biological disruption of existing methods, according to a report in Nature Chemical Biology. view more (2007-11-12)
New insight into Alzheimer's disease pathology
An Alzheimer's-related protein helps form and maintain nerve cell connections, according to a study published in the May 4 print issue of the Journal of Cell Biology and online at www.jcb.org. view more (2009-05-04)
Iowa State University researcher shows proteins have controlled motions

Ruminating cows receive digestive aid
Scientists at the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research are developing new plant breeding techniques which can improve the efficiency of cow digestion and reduce pollution at the same time. Grass isn't the easiest food to digest, and even cows appear to have difficulty doing it efficiently. Dr. Alison Kingston-Smith and Mrs. Rosalind... view more... (2004-04-01)
MIT engineers show how tiny cell proteins generate force to 'walk'
MIT researchers have shown how a cell motor protein exerts the force to move, enabling functions such as cell division. view more (2008-11-25)
Scientists pinpoint protein link to fat storage
A protein found present in all cells in the body could help scientists better understand how we store fat. view more (2009-09-18)
