Impact of elevated homocysteine levels on vision under study
Homocysteine, an amino acid believed to contribute to heart attack, stroke and dementia, likely also is a player in retinal damage and vision loss, researchers say. view more (2007-10-16)
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 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
Iowa State University researcher Robert Jernigan believes that his research shows proteins have controlled motions. view more (2008-08-28)
Is there more to prion protein than mad cow disease?
Prion protein, a form of protein that triggers BSE, is associated with other brain diseases in cattle, raising the possibility of a significant increase in the range of prion disease. view more (2008-09-30)
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)
Yes-associated protein: Early diagnosis of gastric carcinoma
Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a type of cellular adaptor protein and transcriptional co-activator. view more (2009-09-16)
Scientists isolate protein that may be 'boon' to medicine
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have isolated a unique protein that appears to have a dual function and could lead to a "boon in medicine." view more (2009-08-05)
CSH Protocols publishes cutting-edge methods for analyzing complex molecular interactions
With the genomes of hundreds of organisms now catalogued, one of the next major challenges is to identify proteins and their interactions. view more (2006-10-05)
Roles of S100A2 and p63 in the carcinogenesis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
As a member of the S100 family, S100A2 is considered a candidate tumor-suppressor gene. Recently, p63 gene, a new member of the p53 gene family, has been studied in the fields of tumorigenesis, cell apoptosis and tissue growth. view more (2009-09-17)
A novel marker of colorectal carcinoma
The colorectal cancer is thought to be resulted from a combination of environmental factors, diet, lifestyle, chronic inflammation and accumulation of specific genetic alterations. view more (2009-05-22)
Protein splicing upsets the DNA colinearity paradigm
Understanding medical research problems often relies on the direct, linear relationship between the sequence of a protein and the DNA encoding that protein. view more (2006-09-08)
New, flexible computers use displays with any shape
The shape of things to come in the computer world will be anything but flat, predicts Queen's University Computing professor Roel Vertegaal, who is now developing prototypes of these new "non-planar" devices in his Human Media Laboratory. view more (2008-06-03)
Biomimetics: Transferring Technology From Nature - Philosophical Transactions Of The Royal Society A Vol. 360, No. 1791 - Cover Date 15 February 2002
Biomimetics - natural design This issue of Transactions A, a Royal Society journal, addresses the emerging and vibrant multidisciplinary field of biomimetics. The idea that natural systems may have design elements that can be used in manufactured technology is not new, Leonardo da Vinci based many of his inventions on natural mechanisms, and more... view more...

Lessons from yeast: A possible cure for Parkinson's disease?
Parkinson disease (PD) is a debilitating and lethal neurodegenerative disease, for which there is currently no cure. It is caused by the progressive loss of nerve cells that produce the chemical dopamine and is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal aggregates of a protein called alpha-syn in these dopaminergic nerve cells. view more (2008-08-15)
Researchers discover a new genetic cause of Alzheimer's disease
Researchers from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) connected to the University of Antwerp are the first to show that the quantity of amyloid protein in brain cells is a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-04-20)
