Proteins take on new roles in malaria parasite
Malaria is the third leading cause of infectious disease death in the world, after tuberculosis and AIDS. The World Health Organization estimates the parasite causes acute illness in some 300 million people each year, resulting in about 2.7 million deaths. view more (2005-11-03)
Scientists make first step towards 'holy grail' of crystallography
Scientists from Imperial College London and the University of Surrey have developed a new technique for crystallising proteins, a discovery which could help speed up the development of new medicines and treatments. view more (2006-01-09)
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)
Novel diagnosis of preeclampsia with proteomic analysis
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have found that analyzing proteins in urine is a simple and objective method to diagnose and classify preeclampsia (PE), a complication of pregnancy causing high blood pressure after 20 weeks of gestation. view more (2006-02-06)
Nanowires can detect molecular signs of cancer, scientists find
Harvard University researchers have found that molecular markers indicating the presence of cancer in the body are readily detected in blood scanned by special arrays of silicon nanowires - even when these cancer markers constitute only one hundred-billionth of the protein present in a drop of blood. view more (2005-09-26)
Next good dinosaur news likely to come from small packages
Dinosaurs seem bigger than life - big bones, big mysteries. So it's a delicious irony that the next big answers about dinosaurs may come from small - very small - remains. view more (2006-02-17)
New biomarkers could help doctors spot Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's in their early stages can be difficult for physicians to spot, and many diagnoses are incorrect. view more (2006-08-14)
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)
200 proteins which detect diseases of the liver
The biochemist Enrique Santamaría Martínez, a researcher in the area of Genetic Therapy and Hepatology at the CIMA of the University of Navarra, has identified more than 200 proteins which can be considered as indicators of the progression of steatohepatitis and liver hepatitis. view more (2005-12-14)

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill scientists have identified a molecule that stimulates the aggressive growth of prostate cancer. view more (2005-11-29)
Purifying parasites with light
Researchers have developed a clever method to purify parasitic organisms from their host cells, which will allow for more detailed proteomic studies and a deeper insight into the biology of organisms that cause millions of cases of disease each year. view more (2008-09-15)

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)
Assembling the jigsaw puzzle of drug addiction
Using an integrative meta-analysis approach, researchers from the Center for Bioinformatics at Peking University in Beijing have assembled the most comprehensive gene atlas underlying drug addiction and identified five molecular pathways common to four different addictive drugs. view more (2008-01-07)
Proteomics Center Devises Method for Assigning Probabilities to Human Protein Interactions
The Stowers Institute's Proteomics Center has published a novel method of using normalized spectral counts derived from a series of affinity purifications analyzed by mass spectrometry (APMS) to generate a probabilistic measure of the preference of proteins to associate with one another. view more (2008-01-25)
Proteins may predict lung transplant rejection
Using the latest in high tech tools, researchers have identified three proteins that were highly predictive of chronic lung rejection up to 20 months before the rejection occurred. view more (2006-11-03)
