Proteins are complex molecules that are made up of amino acids. They can be found in every cell in the body, and carry out vital processes that keep human beings alive. Mutations in proteins can lead to a multitude of diseases, the most common being cancer.

Stress helps remove the formation of toxic proteins in dementia

Recently, researchers have discovered a novel method that could help avoid the formation of protein tangles, which are typical in dementia.

Study shows new potential target for CAR T cells to inhibit solid tumors

CAR T therapy, or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, has revolutionized the treatment of some blood cancers, allowing patients with relapsed or refractory disease to live longer and better lives.

Study reveals advance in cell biology may lead to effective cancer therapy technique

According to researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a protein called CDC7, which has long been assumed to play an important role in cell division, may be replaced by another protein called CDK1.

Two new genomic studies provide insight into evolutionarily unique traits of cephalopods

Squid, octopus, and cuttlefish – even to scientists who study them – are wonderfully weird creatures. Known as the soft-bodied or coleoid cephalopods, they have the largest nervous system of any invertebrate, complex behaviors such as instantaneous camouflage, arms studded with dexterous suckers, and other evolutionarily unique traits.

Understanding how genetic and environmental factors affect lentil crops

Lentils are an important and popular food in many parts of the world. They are also a nutritional powerhouse.

Researchers analyze the significance of two-pore channels in plant cells

TPCs (two-pore channels) are old ion channels found in both animal and plant cells. These ion channels serve key roles in biological activity in numerous tissues in animals, including humans, like the brain and nervous system.

Study shows how nanotechnology may help for structural research of RNA molecules

Humans live in a world created and managed by RNA—the genetic molecule DNA’s equally important sibling.

Scientists get a clearer and more accurate image of proteins

Proteins are among the most significant and diverse biomolecules found in living organisms. These strings of amino acids, which take on complex 3-dimensional structures, are required for tissue growth and maintenance, the activation of thousands of biochemical events, and the immune system’s defense against invaders.

Study shows how G protein-coupled receptors signal helps drug development

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), membrane proteins that are the target of one-third of approved drugs, are being studied by scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Columbia University/New York State Psychiatric Institute.

Researchers discover protein that enhances muscle mass

Humans are not just pumping iron in the gym, or not just oxygenating muscle cells, which keeps those muscles healthy, powerful, and developing—a process known as hypertrophy—that is defined as an increase in muscle mass, caused by an increase in muscle cell size.

29 Apr 2022

Researchers analyze the potential role of mRNA in drug development and novel therapies

In latest years, messenger RNA—the DNA’s close relative in the complex process of turning a string of genetic blueprints into a properly functioning organism—has gotten a lot of attention in the scientific and medical community.

Study shows the role of mucosal-associated invariant T cell in mucosal melanomas patients

Many cancer patients have benefited from the development of anti-cancer immunotherapy drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors, but patients with mucosal melanomas—melanomas that occur in the mucous membranes of the head, neck, eyes, respiratory system, and genitourinary region rather than on the skin—are highly resistive to immune checkpoint inhibitors for reasons researchers do not fully understand.

Researchers analyze leaf angle genetics for improved crop yields

Plants have long been the main source of nutrition. The demand for food production is always increasing as the human population grows exponentially. Since agricultural land is constrained, meeting this rising need will necessitate developing new ways to increase the productivity of existing crops.

New 3D in vitro model reveals the origins of human spine

The spinal column is the central supporting structure of the skeleton in all vertebrates. Not only does it provide a place for muscles to attach, it also protects the spinal cord and nerve roots. Defects in its development are known to cause rare hereditary diseases.
