Researchers identify protein ‘protector’ of chemo-resistant ovarian cancer...
Ovarian cancer is the most deadly gynecological cancer, claiming the lives of more than 50% of women who are diagnosed with the disease. A study involving the University of Ottawa and National Cheng...
View ArticleScientists identify proteins responsible for synapse-vesicle fusion.
While neurons rapidly propagate information in their interior via electrical signals, they communicate with each other at special contact points known as the synapses. Chemical messenger substances,...
View ArticleResearchers offer first analysis of newly discovered human glucose disorder.
Glycogen storage disorders, which affect the body’s ability to process sugar and store energy, are rare metabolic conditions that frequently manifest in the first years of life. Often accompanied by...
View ArticleResearchers comprehensively map cadherin interactome for the first time.
Researchers at the National University of Singapore have comprehensively mapped the network of proteins involved in cell-cell adhesions, or the cadherin interactome. This work is published in Science...
View ArticleNew neuroimaging technique maps protein synthesis in living tissues, animals.
Researchers at Columbia University have made a significant step toward visualizing complex protein metabolism in living systems with high resolution and minimum disturbance, a longstanding goal in the...
View ArticleEbola protein blocks early step in body’s counterattack on virus.
One of the human body’s first responses to a viral infection is to make and release signalling proteins called interferons, which amplify the immune system response to viruses. Over time, many viruses...
View ArticleResearchers see an unprecedented degree of nerve regeneration using proteomics.
Using proteomics techniques to study injured optic nerves, researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital have identified previously unrecognized proteins and pathways involved in nerve regeneration. The...
