Researchers in Japan have identified a receptor protein on the surface of heart cells that promotes chronic heart failure.
Investments are now being made to roll out this innovation across healthcare and broaden the scope of the research in this field.
A study has found that abnormal proteins found in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease all share a ability to cause damage...
A multi-institutional team based at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has discovered how a potential treatment strategy for Huntington disease (HD) produces its effects, verified its action in human cells and identified a previously unknown deficit in neural stem cells from patients with HD.
Antibodies are able to activate human nerve cells within milliseconds and hence modify their function.
The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) is establishing 15 new Research Training Groups to further support early research...
New research in suggests that the protein Efr3a regulates the BDNF-TrkB signaling pathway, which plays an important role in regulating learning and memory...
For characterising higher order protein structure and accurately defining CQAs of biopharmaceuticals...
Understanding evolution is one of the cornerstones of biology - evolution is, in fact, the sole explanation for life's diversity on our planet. Based on the evolution of proteins, researchers may explain the emergence of new species and functions through genetic changes or how enzymes with novel functions might be…
A protein that typically helps keep cells organised and on task becomes a tumour suppressor in the face of liver cancer, scientists say.
Changes leading to the hyperactivation of the protein kinase Akt are observed in 50% of all tumours. Understanding Akt’s regulatory mechanisms is therefore essential for developing and improving cancer therapies....
Researchers have uncovered molecular details of how pathogenic bacteria fight back against the human immune response to infection.
Scientists unveil the complex molecular structure that causes lethal infections by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Their findings might have implications for potential therapies against antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis.
Developability assessment is a broad term covering the evaluation of potential therapeutic candidates’ drug-like properties, manufacturability and safety profile. It is important to carry out this assessment as early as possible in the pre-clinical stage development to select the candidate with the most stable profile. This can minimise the risks…
