Proteomics News and Research

RSS

The term 'proteome' was first coined in 1994, and refers to all the proteins in a cell, tissue, or organism. Proteomics refers to the study of the proteome. Because proteins are involved in almost all biological activities, the proteome is a rich source of biological information.

Study identifies new therapy to treat cystic fibrosis

The process of making proteins from genes is similar to that of a factory, where employees must follow a set of instructions that are both effective and precise.

Researchers regenerate cartilage using novel protein fragment

The existing methods for the regeneration of injured cartilage generate tissue that breaks down. This deterioration eventually leads to osteoarthritis—the commonly seen form of arthritis—affecting over 32.5 million grown-ups in the United States, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
