Researchers discover cell's 'quality control' mechanism
Researchers in Japan and Canada have discovered a key component of the quality control mechanism that operates inside human cells - sometimes too well. The breakthrough has significant implications for the development of new treatments for cystic fibrosis (CF) and some other hereditary diseases, the researchers say. Their results were published... view more... (2008-07-30)
Scientists learn more about how viruses reproduce, spread
Biochemists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have made a surprising discovery about the inner workings of a powerful virus - a discovery that they hope could one day lead to better vaccines or anti-virus medications. view more (2006-04-07)
Mayo Clinic researchers measuring C-reactive protein is early indicator of stiffened arteries
Researchers around the world agree that C-reactive protein is associated with increased risk of heart attack and stroke. view more (2005-08-24)
High protein diet may be bad for women trying to conceive
A moderately high protein diet could reduce a woman's chances of becoming pregnant, according to new research presented at the 20th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology today on Monday 28 June. Researchers from the USA have found that a diet containing 25% protein disrupted the normal genetic imprinting... view more... (2004-06-28)
Infections may lead to faster memory loss in Alzheimer's disease
Getting a cold, stomach bug or other infection may lead to increased memory loss in people with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-09-08)
Moderate amounts of protein per meal found best for building muscle
For thousands of years, people have believed that eating large amounts of protein made it easier to build bigger, stronger muscles. Take Milo of Croton, the winner of five consecutive Olympic wrestling championships in the sixth century BC: If ancient writers are to be believed, he built his crushing strength in part by consuming 20 pounds of meat... view more...

Penn biologists discover how 'silent' mutations influence protein production
Biologists at the University of Pennsylvania have revealed a hidden code that determines the expression level of a gene, providing a way to distinguish efficient genes from inefficient ones. view more (2009-04-10)
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)
Unfolded proteins may protect cells from dying
When cells get stressed, their proteins go unfolded. It's a reaction with a straightforward name: the unfolded protein response. Now, new research from Rockefeller University shows that this phenomenon actually serves a protective role; rather than a sign that the cell has given up, it may be a mechanism by which the cells cope with adversity. view more (2006-12-27)
Wheat gene may boost foods' nutrient content
Researchers at the University of California, Davis; the U.S. Department of Agriculture; and the University of Haifa in Israel have cloned a gene from wild wheat that increases the protein, zinc and iron content in the grain, potentially offering a solution to nutritional deficiencies affecting hundreds of millions of children around the world. view more (2006-11-27)
Same gene mutation in urinary protein responsible for two different types of kidney disease
The same gene mutation in a urinary protein causes two different types of kidney disease, research in the Journal of Medical Genetics shows. view more (2002-12-06)
Ume'å scientist presents discoveries about natural immunity in Science
A team including scientists at UCMP (Ume'å Center for Molecular Pathogenesis), a research unit at Ume'å University, shows in last week's issue of the journal Science that the protein PGRP-LC plays a crucial role in so-called innate immunity. Professor Dan Hultmark, post-doctoral fellow Svenja Stöven, and doctoral candidate Thomas... view more... (2002-03-04)
McMaster University researchers discover zip codes for protein
McMaster scientists are very close to defining small molecule drugs that should be able to redirect the huntingtin protein from accumulating in the wrong place within brain cells, which could potentially translate to a therapy for Huntington's Disease (HD). view more (2007-01-30)
Scientists locate disease switches
A team of scientists from the University of Copenhagen and the Max Planck Institute in Germany, using groundbreaking technology, has identified no less than 3,600 molecular switches in the human body. view more (2009-07-17)
ESC Congress 2003: Prothrombotic mutations are associated with increased cardiovascular events in postmenopausal women receiving hormone replacement therapy
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 Recent studies have suggested that hormone replacement therapy may be associated with an increased... view more...

Proteasome activator enhances survival of Huntington's disease neuronal model cells
To function, each living cell needs both to build new and to degrade old or damaged proteins. To accomplish that, a number of intracellular systems work in concert to keep the cell healthy and from clogging up with damaged proteins. view more (2007-02-28)
US Patent Granted for Method to Detect Protein Translocations in Cells - Redistribution™
BioImage A/S today announced that it had been granted US 6,518,021, a patent covering the detection of protein translocation in cells using luminophores, such as green fluorescent protein (GFP), fused to the target protein. Redistribution™ - the name coined by the company to describe its technology that monitors protein translocation in real... view more... (2003-03-03)
