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%... view more (2004-06-28)

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... view more (2006-12-27)

Researchers discover gene crucial for nerve cell insulation
Researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have discovered how a defect in a single master gene disrupts the process by which several genes interact to create myelin, a fatty coating that covers nerve cells and increases the speed and reliability of their electrical signals.   view more (2007-04-17)

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... 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... 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)

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... view more (2003-09-01)

Ibuprofen Destroys Aspirin's Positive Effect on Stroke Risk
Stroke patients who use ibuprofen for arthritis pain or other conditions while taking aspirin to reduce the risk of a second stroke undermine aspirin's ability to act as an anti-platelet agent, researchers at the University at Buffalo have shown.   view more (2008-03-13)

Hopkins researchers piece together gene 'network' linked to schizophrenia
Reporting this week in the Archives of General Psychiatry, researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have uncovered for the first time molecular circuitry associated with schizophrenia that links three previously known, yet unrelated proteins.   view more (2008-09-03)

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)

MIT model could improve some drugs' effectiveness
MIT researchers have developed a computer modeling approach that could improve a class of drugs based on antibodies, molecules key to the immune system. The model can predict structural changes in an antibody that will improve its effectiveness.   view more (2007-09-24)

Carnegie Mellon develops computer model to study cell membrane dynamics
A cell constantly remodels its fluid membranes to carry out critical tasks, such as recognizing other cells, getting nutrients or sorting proteins.   view more (2008-04-09)

Going from ulcers to cancer
Researchers have uncovered a big clue as to why some of the bacteria that cause stomach ulcers pose a greater risk for serious problems like stomach cancer than others; it turns out these bacteria can exploit the surrounding stomach cells to protect them from the immune system.   view more (2008-08-25)

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... view more (2003-03-03)

Hebrew University, German And British Researchers Develop Means To Help Post-Traumatic Stress Sufferers
Try as we may to suppress memories of highly stressful experiences, they nevertheless come back to bother us - even causing attacks of intense fear or other undesirable behavioral impairments. Now a group of German, Israeli and British scientists and students have found that a gene-based approach... view more (2003-12-11)

New insight into machinery of immune cells' 'tentacles'
Researchers have identified new molecular components of the machinery that regulates formation of the tentacle-like filaments by which immune system T cells grasp other cells.   view more (2006-01-10)

Researchers 'see' structure of open nicotinic acetylcholine ion channels

A research team in the Physics Department at the UAB, formed by Àlvar S' nchez, Carles Navau (also lecturer and researcher at the Escola Universitaria Salesiana de Sarri' ) and Enric Pardo, have developed a complete theoretical model that allows for the detailed study of the magnetic force of... view more (2002-10-01)

The Immune System In Autism
Autism suffers present a widespread range of antibodies against brain tissue and one protein in particular seems to be the major target of these antibodies claim a group of scientists in the July issue of the Journal of Neuroimmunology. The researchers also show that these antibodies are not... view more (2004-07-23)

Sugar coupled to protein causes kidneys to save water
Several new mechanisms that are important for the production and transport of water channels to the cell surface of kidneys have been identified by a Dutch researcher. The water channels ensure that water in the body is reused. If these fail to work properly, you urinate too much and dehydrate. The... view more (2003-10-10)
