Penn Study Identifies How Ebola Virus Avoids the Immune System
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have likely found one reason why the Ebola virus is such a powerful, deadly, and effective virus. Using a cell culture model for Ebola virus infection, they have discovered that the virus disables a cellular protein called tetherin that normally can block the spread of virus from... view more...

UNC scientists discover 'gatekeeper' protein in blood clotting
New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine has identified a protein that may control blood clotting by keeping blood platelets from sticking together. view more (2006-01-30)
New prion protein discovered by Canadian scientists may offer insight into mad cow disease
Scientists have discovered a new protein that may offer fresh insights into brain function in mad cow disease. "Our team has defined a second prion protein called 'Shadoo', that exists in addition to the well-known prion protein called 'PrP' " said Professor David Westaway, director of the Centre for Prions and Protein Folding Diseases... view more...

New collaboration between Amersham Biosciences and Affibody increases potential in protein purification
Under the agreement, the two companies will work to develop affinity-based products for use in the production processes for protein-based pharmaceuticals. The development of these products will be based on Affibodies™, a novel class of small, robust affinity proteins designed to bind desired protein targets. Financial details of the... view more...

Aspirin discovery may improve cancer treatments
Salicylates, including aspirin, are used to treat a range of inflammatory conditions and can be used to prevent diseases such as cancer, but the way aspirin works is not yet fully understood. view more (2007-04-06)
Nanoparticles Double Their Chances of Getting Into Sticky Situations
Chemistry researchers at the University of Warwick have found that tiny nanoparticles could be twice as likely to stick to the interface of two non mixing liquids than previously believed. view more (2009-02-17)
Cheaper, potentially better disease treatments expected from faster approach to developing therapeutic antibodies
A method of mass-producing disease-fighting antibodies entirely within bacteria has been developed by a research group at The University of Texas at Austin. view more (2007-04-19)
Your virtual assistant for personal financial advice
Added usability and intelligence has been brought to virtual assistants thanks to technology developed by European researchers, offering online users an entertaining, yet competent professional financial service. view more (2005-05-10)
Rutgers-Newark researcher discovers new motor protein mechanism linked to heart disease and strokes
Cardiomyopathy is an insidious disease which often strikes without warning and can lead to heart failure and eventual death. Although the disease can be traced to conditions such as high blood pressure, heart valve or arterial diseases and congenital heart defects, it is also caused by viral infections in the bloodstream. view more (2006-07-24)
UC San Diego researchers improve accuracy of breast cancer prognoses
One of the many unknowns facing women who are diagnosed with breast cancer is predicting the likelihood that the cancer will spread to other parts of the body - metastasize. view more (2007-10-16)
In lab study, researchers find molecule that disrupts Ewing's sarcoma oncogene
Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center have found a small molecule they say can block the action of the oncogene that causes Ewing's sarcoma, a rare cancer found in children and young adults. If further studies continue to prove beneficial, they say the novel agent could be the first targeted therapy to treat the disease, which can... view more... (2008-04-14)
Toddlers learn complex actions from picture-book reading, says new research
Parents who engage in the age-old tradition of picture-book reading are not only encouraging early reading development in their children but are also teaching their toddlers about the world around them. view more (2006-11-06)
Researchers show evidence of 'memory' in cells and molecules
Research to be reported October 29 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) provides evidence that some molecular interactions on cell surfaces may have a "memory" that affects their future interactions. view more (2007-10-30)
Making sense of the human genome: researchers characterize a crucial family of signaling proteins in the human genome
In this month's Genome Biology, Mitch Kostich and colleagues from the Schering-Plough Research Institute (NJ, USA) have identified and mapped an important group of molecules known as protein kinases. These molecules are central to the communication of information both within and between cells, in a process known as cell signaling. Defective... view more... (2002-08-23)
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols features methods for analyzing protein interactions
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, an online journal that publishes methods used in a wide range of biology laboratories, has added over 40 new peer-reviewed protocols to its archive today. view more (2006-09-11)
Cancer-Causing Protein Can Also Help Fight the Tumors It Causes
Oncogenes are genes that when mutated or expressed in high concentrations can cause normal cells to become cancerous. view more (2009-06-19)
Roadworks on the motorways of the cell
A cell is a busy place. In a permanent rush hour, molecules are transported along a dynamic motorway system made up of filaments called microtubules. view more (2007-01-02)
Molecular force field helps cancer cells defend against attack
Much as the famed starship Enterprise would deploy a deflector shield to evade enemy attack, tumor cells are capable of switching on a molecular force field of their own to fend off treatments aimed at killing them. Now University of Florida researchers have found a chink in their armor. view more (2006-02-02)
Scientists retrace evolution with first atomic structure of an ancient protein
Scientists have determined for the first time the atomic structure of an ancient protein, revealing in unprecedented detail how genes evolved their functions. view more (2007-08-17)
Mealtime interaction encourages hospitalized seniors to eat more
Sharing a meal in good company can stimulate the appetite - particularly among hospitalized seniors - according to a new Université de Montréalstudy published in The Gerontologist. view more (2009-05-06)
