Little-known protein may play a role in frontotemporal lobar degeneration

Scientists have known for years that amyloid fibrils -; fibrous, ropelike structures formed by closely linked protein molecules -; are present in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and likely play a role in the progression of these disorders.

Epigenetic regulator helps determine lung cancer patients and their resistance to drugs

Doctors commonly use tyrosine kinase inhibitors, particularly epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors, to cure patients with non-small cell lung cancer, a common and typically deadly kind of cancer that accounts for 80% to 85% of lung cancers.

Experimental "gene silencing" therapy reduces a important driver of heart disease risk by up to 98%

Findings from a new Cleveland Clinic-led phase 1 trial show that an experimental "gene silencing" therapy reduced blood levels of lipoprotein(a), a key driver of heart disease risk, by up to 98%.

Exceptional research recordings display RNA switching “on” and “off”

RNA switches (also known as riboswitches) control which genes are turned “on” and “off”, much like a light switch. Although this appears to be a straightforward process, biologists have been astonished by the inner workings of these switches for decades.
