Peakadilly nv biopharmaceutical firm created
The Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) and Ghent University have started up a new biopharmaceutical company named Peakadilly nv. Peakadilly will develop and market a new generation of molecular diagnostics - so-called protein bio-markers - using innovative proteomics technology developed by the research group under the... view more...

Role for proteomics in identifying hematologic malignancies
Scientists have identified a set of biomarkers that could help clinicians identify a group of hematologic malignancies known as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), which affect approximately 300,000 individuals worldwide and often progress to acute myeloid leukemia. view more (2007-01-11)
Bacteria reveal secret of adaptation at Evolution Canyon
Bacteria living on opposite sides of a canyon have evolved to cope with different temperatures by altering the make-up of their 'skin', or cell membranes. Scientists have found that bacteria change these complex and important structures to adapt to different temperatures by looking at the appearance of the bacteria as well as their genes. view more (2008-07-28)
Faster method to create antibodies for disease research
Faster method to create antibodies for disease research British scientists are pioneering a new technique to produce large numbers of antibodies quickly and reliably to help the study of dangerous bacteria. view more (2005-10-07)
Getting to grips with the complexity of disease proteins
Drug molecules seldom act simply on one protein but on protein complexes and networks. A deeper understanding of these 'cooperative assemblies' should lead to better targeting of drugs. view more (2008-10-21)
LGC awarded £2m in contracts for DTI`s Measurements for Biotechnology (MfB) programme
LGC, the UK`s leading independent analytical laboratory providing chemical, biochemical and DNA analysis, has won over £2m funding in a series of eight DTI contracts spanning five themes of the Measurements for Biotechnology (MfB) programme. The two largest contracts - for improving the comparability of data generated from gene expression... view more... (2002-08-01)
Shilatifard and colleagues clarify the enzymatic activity of factors involved in childhood leukemia
The Stowers Institute's Shilatifard Lab and colleagues have provided new insight into the molecular basis for H3K4 methylation, an activity associated with the MLL protein found in chromosomal translocation-based aggressive infant acute leukemias. view more (2009-05-05)
Protein expression holds promise for head and neck cancer detection
The blood of patients with head and neck cancer appears to have unique patterns of protein expression that one day could serve as a screening test for the highly aggressive cancer that is often diagnosed too late, researchers say. view more (2006-05-11)
A protein interaction map for a better insight in cancer development
With the completion of the genome sequence of a number of organisms, analysis of the gene products, the proteins, is the on-going challenge. view more (2005-02-28)
Study offers innovative profile of enzyme that aids tumor growth
To date, understanding the roles of uncharacterized enzymes in cell physiology and pathology has remained problematic. view more (2006-10-23)
Over £11M cash injection for research in genomics
The grants represent a major investment in "genomics" research, i.e. in understanding more about what genes and their products do in cells, and how they are naturally regulated and respond to internal and external stimuli to influence a cell's metabolism and behaviour. Key technologies are the microarrays * and resources for studying the protein... view more... (1999-10-12)
Working with `worms` to reveal the secrets of a long life
10 meter long, 25 year old tape worms living in human and animal digestive systems are the subjects for the latest research project at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (UWA). A group of scientists led by Dr Peter Brophy and Professor John Barrett of the University`s Institute of Biological Sciences are taking a new perspective on how... view more... (2001-12-10)
First disease-specific (breast cancer) protein library opens new drug paths
In research that could significantly advance the pace of drug discovery in the fight against breast cancer, Harvard Medical School investigators announce in today's online Journal of Proteome Research that they have created the first publicly available library of reliably expressible proteins of a human disease, in this case for breast cancer. view more (2006-02-09)

Hepatitis C virus may need enzyme's help to cause liver disease
A key enzyme may explain how hepatitis C infection causes fatty liver - a buildup of excess fat in the liver, which can lead to life-threatening diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer, report University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health and School of Medicine researchers. view more (2008-07-09)
MUHC-led research identifies risk-factor genes for type 2 diabetes
A new study led by researchers at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) has identified four genes that increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-02-20)
New proteomics research promises to revolutionize biomedical discovery
Human cells function through the concerted action of thousands of proteins that control their growth and differentiation. Yet, the specific function of most human proteins remains either unknown or poorly characterized. view more (2007-07-20)
Researchers find mutiple proteins that stick to medical devices
Biomedical engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have found a new role for the blood protein serum amyloid P in the body's response to medical materials, which may help to explain a variety of problems associated with heart-lung bypass, hemodialysis and the use of artificial vascular grafts. view more (2005-10-06)
Conaway Lab uncovers function of potential cancer-causing gene product
The Stowers Institute's Conaway Lab has uncovered a previously unknown function of a gene product called Amplified in Liver Cancer 1 (Alc1), which may play a role in the onset of cancer. view more (2009-08-10)
