Image: A synthetic tissue releases therapeutic proteins (maroon/yellow) once triggered by metabolites (sandy brown). The metabolites contact with the double-stranded DNA (red/blue) to release the red triggering DNA. The triggering DNA activates the aptamer (cyan)-protein complex to release the protein (Photo courtesy of Xin Zou and Jinping Lai / Pennsylvania State University).

Hydrogel-Based Model System Mimics Cellular Signaling Processes

An artificial hydrogel-based model system responds to chemical signals by binding or releasing bound proteins in a manner similar to processes occurring in living cells. More...

Diseased Liver Model Facilitates Search for AAT Deficiency Cure

Researchers have developed a new humanized liver mouse model with the mutation that causes alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency in order to determine whether it is possible to cure the disease by repopulating the defective liver with gene edited healthy cells. More...

Image: The yTRAP can be used to create cellular sensors for protein aggregation. The sensor produces fluorescent signals that depend on the protein aggregation state in the cell. In this experiment, three cell types were tested that produce varying signal strength depending on the aggregation of a prion protein. The brightest green for no prion aggregation (bottom), a slightly dimmer green to show a weak presence of prion aggregation (top right) and an even dimmer green signal for a strong prion presence (top left) (Photo courtesy of Dr. Ahmad S. Khalil).

Genetic Tool Monitors and Manipulates Cellular Protein Aggregates

A newly developed genetic tool allows researchers to track the level of protein aggregation in cells, and to a certain extent, manipulate or eliminate the aggregates. More...

Loss of p53 Promotes Survival of Cancer Stem Cells

Cancer researchers have found that the cellular cleansing process known as mitophagy is linked to the development and progression of liver cancer. More...
