The new study shows how SARS-CoV-2 significantly remodels cellular processes in just an hour and identifies potential drug targets and therapeutics for COVID-19.
The novel probes, known as positive controls, could make it easier to validate rapid, point-of-care diagnostic tests for COVID-19 across the globe.
According to researchers, the more small tau protein variants expressed by neurons, the slower neurofibrillary tangles form.
An artificial intelligence (AI) system called AlphaFold has been developed to effectively predict protein structures and folding.
Professor Laurence D Hurst explains why understanding the nucleotide mutations in viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, can have significant implications for vaccine design.
By combining machine learning and T-cell engineering researchers were able to develop cell therapies that can selectively and effectively target and destroy solid tumours.
Researchers demonstrate that the CARD8 protein plays a key role in regulating the inflammation that causes atherosclerosis and other inflammatory diseases.
Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital have studied several thousand circulating proteins within the plasma proteome of symptomatic COVID-19 patients and acutely ill non-COVID-19 controls. Nikki Withers discussed their findings and implications of the study with one of the lead authors, Dr Mike Filbin.
This in-depth focus features articles on neuropilin-1, a potential new target for COVID-19 drug development, the creation of a lung model to enhance our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 infections and using proteomics to uncover the mechanisms behind COVID-19 symptom severity.
Researchers reveal how two genetic variations may contribute to COVID-19 disease severity and suggest the product of one, the CD209 antigen, may be a potential drug target.
Researchers have shown that 70 percent of Alzheimer’s patients have high levels of proteins associated with dysfunction in the endosomal trafficking system in their spinal fluid.
The first comprehensive survey of genomics, transcriptomics, global proteomics and phosphoproteomics has revealed insights into paediatric brain tumours.
The study shows how drug-like small molecules inhibit the activity of Transient Receptor Potential Canonical 1/4/5 (TRPC1/4/5) channels and could transform the development of future therapies.
A study in healthcare workers has shown that antibodies from COVID-19 infection protect individuals from reinfection for at least six months.
