New protein target may advance design of HIV and cancer drugs
Using small molecules containing platinum, Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center researchers have created a process to inhibit a class of proteins important in HIV and cancer. view more (2006-05-31)
OHSU Cancer Institute researchers find connection between protein, prognosis in breast cancer
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have found that a tumor protein present in an aggressive form of breast cancer is related to a poor prognosis. view more (2008-04-14)
Wellcome Trust grant to investigate degenerative brain diseases known as `tauopathies`
Dr Julian Thorpe, head of the Electron Microscopy Lab at the University of Sussex, will be working towards a better understanding of degenerative brain diseases thanks to a £247,000 grant from the Wellcome Trust. He is taking a very close look at a possible contributory cause of nerve cell death in a group of conditions related to... view more... (2002-04-17)
Inactivity of proteins behind longer shelf life when freezing
Frozen biological material, for example food, can be kept for a long time without perishing. A study by researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, is close to providing answers as to why. view more (2009-03-03)
Shape Matters: NC State Scientists Characterize Structure of Protein Involved in Preventing Alzheimer's, Huntington's Diseases
Scientists at North Carolina State University have effectively lifted the veil from an important protein that is linked to the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Huntington's. view more (2006-07-26)
Urgent need for more research into prevalence of CJD
The first estimate of the number of people who are at increased risk of vCJD, but who have not developed symptoms, is published in this week`s BMJ. Researchers studied specimens from appendicectomies and tonsillectomies carried out between 1995 and 1999. They also examined samples removed at autopsy or during surgery from... view more...

Immune responses spread from one protein to another in type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by the immune system inappropriately attacking the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, the hormone that controls blood sugar levels. view more (2006-12-04)
First comprehensive literature-derived database of yeast interactions
Researchers have built the first comprehensive manually-generated, literature-based, database of genetic and protein interactions. view more (2006-06-08)
Animal study suggests inadequate sleep may exacerbate cellular aging in the elderly
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have shown that the unfolded protein response, which is a reaction to stress induced by sleep deprivation, is impaired in the brains of old mice. view more (2008-06-30)
Gene-bender proteins may sway to DNA
Among the many genes packed into each cell of our body, those that get turned on, or expressed, are the ones that make us who we are. Certain proteins do the job of regulating gene expression by clasping onto key spots of DNA - the nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions. view more (2006-12-05)
Deakin University discovery could lead to new leukaemia treatments
Deakin University scientists have identified a protein that could hold the key to new leukaemia treatments. view more (2006-11-07)
Researchers identify cell pathway in colon cancer
For the one in 18 men and women who will be diagnosed with cancer of the colon and rectum during their lifetime and over 150,000 people diagnosed on a yearly basis, today's genetic research news offers some optimism. view more (2007-02-21)

The first gene-encoded amphibian toxin isolated
Researchers in China have discovered the first protein-based toxin in an amphibian -a 60 amino acid neurotoxin found in the skin of a Chinese tree frog. This finding may help shed more light into both the evolution of amphibians and the evolution of poison. view more (2009-08-18)
Protein discovery could unlock the secret to better TB treatment
UCL scientists have found a protein that could unlock the secret to quicker, more effective treatment of TB by waking TB bacteria in the body. Once the TB bacteria are active again, the disease becomes treatable using common drugs like antibiotics. Scientists believe that uncovering the molecular structure of this protein will lead the way to... view more... (2005-02-28)
University of the Basque Country study on proteins related to Alzheimer
The cause, or at least one of the possible causes, of memory loss amongst Alzheimer sufferers is related to the location of certain proteins. view more (2009-10-16)
New marker for Alzheimer's discovered
Gothenburg researchers have discovered a previously unknown substance in spinal fluid that can be used to diagnose Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-09-15)
Researchers Examine Protein Vital to Reproduction Process, Regulation May Increase Chances of Pregnancy
In its early and most critical stages, human reproduction requires precise, vital functions. The role of one sperm-delivered protein, which is crucial to the process, is being closely observed by scientists from the United States and Canada. Lab tests in recent years have produced valuable information and hopes of regulating that protein to... view more... (2007-03-20)
New step forward in search for solution to infection puzzle
Scientists at the University of York have helped to reveal more about the way bacteria can attach to human tissues. view more (2008-08-07)
Elevated inflammatory marker may be linked to increased risk of age-related eye disease
High blood levels of C-reactive protein, a substance linked to inflammation, appear to be associated with an increased risk for age-related macular degeneration. view more (2007-10-09)
