U-M researchers reveal missing link in a heart disease pathway
University of Michigan scientists and their colleagues have helped characterize a previously unknown link in the chain of biochemical reactions implicated in some forms of heart disease. view more (2007-12-21)
A probable cause for Parkinson's?
Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's disease and other brain disorders are among a growing list of maladies attributed to oxidative stress, the cell damage caused during metabolism when the oxygen in the body assumes ever more chemically reactive forms. view more (2006-06-28)
New therapeutic target for melanoma identified
A protein called Mcl-1 plays a critical role in melanoma cell resistance to a form of apoptosis called anoikis, according to research published this week in Molecular Cancer Research. view more (2009-04-16)
Mechanism for neurodenegerative diseases linked to transport proteins
Hampering the transport of proteins within cells may underlie several adult-onset neurodegenerative diseases, such as Huntington's, ALS and Kennedy disease. Understanding how this cell transport is blocked in these diseases may offer targets for future therapy. view more (2006-06-09)
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)
Using carbon nanotubes to seek and destroy anthrax toxin and other harmful proteins
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new way to seek out specific proteins, including dangerous proteins such as anthrax toxin, and render them harmless using nothing but light. view more (2007-12-11)
Lost in translation
The enzyme machine that translates a cell's DNA code into the proteins of life is nothing if not an editorial perfectionist. view more (2009-01-08)
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)
Cystic Fibrosis Proteins Photographed Interacting
New microscopic pictures show the first-ever physical evidence of interaction between two proteins involved in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) disease. view more (2007-12-10)
Researchers attach genes to minichromosomes in maize
A team of scientists at the University of Missouri-Columbia has discovered a way to create engineered minichromosomes in maize and attach genes to those minichromosomes. view more (2007-05-15)
ESRF lightsource helps tailoring new treatments against asthma
Researchers from Sweden and France have deciphered the crystal structure of a human membrane protein which has a major influence on the development of asthma. view more (2007-08-03)
Researchers identify proteins making up mechanosensitive ion channels
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are the first to identify two proteins responsible for mechanosensitive ion channel activities in plant roots. Scientists have long known that plant cells respond to physical forces. Until now, however, the proteins controlling the ion channel response remained a mystery. view more (2008-06-03)
Southampton researchers develop novel method for detecting vCJD prions on surgical instruments
Researchers from the University of Southampton, together with Surrey-based diagnostics company, Microgen Bioproducts Limited, and microscopy specialists, Best Scientific of Swindon, are developing important new methods for detecting prions- the proteins implicated in sporadic and variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (CJD) - on surgical instruments.... view more...

Newly discovered proteins in seminal fluid may affect odds of producing offspring
Seminal fluid contains protein factors that, when transferred from a male to a female at mating, affect reproductive success. This is true of many different animals, from crickets to primates. view more (2008-07-29)
MIT IDs link between brain tumor proteins
MIT researchers have identified a critical link between two proteins found in brain tumors, a discovery that could eventually help treat a form of brain cancer that kills 99 percent of patients. view more (2007-07-20)
How plants learned to respond to changing environments
A team of John Innes centre scientists lead by Professor Nick Harberd have discovered how plants evolved the ability to adapt to changes in climate and environment. view more (2007-07-13)
U of T researchers reveal Epstein-Barr virus protein contributes to cancer
Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that the EBNA1 protein of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) disrupts structures in the nucleus of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells, thereby interfering with cellular processes that normally prevent cancer development. view more (2008-10-07)
In preeclampsia, researchers identify proteins that cause blood vessel damage
Proteins released by the placenta may damage blood vessels in women with preeclampsia (PE), according to an abstract presented by Yale School of Medicine researchers at the Society for Gynecologic Investigation Conference March 17 in Reno, Nevada. view more (2007-03-19)
Membrane complexes take flight
Against currently held dogma, scientists at the Universities of Cambridge and Bristol have revealed that the interactions within membrane complexes can be maintained intact in the vacuum of a mass spectrometer. Their research is published in this week's edition of Science Express. view more (2008-06-13)
Yale test detects early stage ovarian cancer with 99 percent accuracy
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have developed a blood test with enough sensitivity and specificity to detect early stage ovarian cancer with 99 percent accuracy. view more (2008-02-13)
