Image: A proposed model of hnRNPA2 (in gray) shows where acetyl-CoA (green) can \"dock\" and interact with different components of the protein. These interactions allow it to transfer acetyl-CoA groups to nuclear gene promoters and translate mitochondrial stress to nuclear gene activation, a process associated with cancer progression (Photo courtesy of the University of Pennsylvania).

Protein Identified Modifies Gene Expression in Response to Mitochondrial Damage

A protein has been identified that causes changes in cellular gene expression in response to stress or disease related impairment in mitochondrial function. More...

New Drug Treatments to Target Pneumocystis Dependence on Inositol Transport

A recent paper suggested that the Pneumocystis fungus, a dangerous pathogen that causes pneumonia in HIV patients and other immunocompromised individuals, could be targeted by drugs that would block its inositol transport mechanism. More...

Image: An illustration of the high-risk (left) and low-risk (right) versions of the ZnT8 protein as it transports zinc ions (purple spheres) across a cell membrane, where it binds with insulin (green and yellow). The letters show the difference in the DNA code that produces the variation in proteins (Photo courtesy of Drs. Chengfeng Merriman and Dax Fu, Johns Hopkins University).

Preventing Type II Diabetes Requires Putting the Brakes on Zinc Transport Protein

The enhanced activity of a zinc transport protein encoded by a fairly common gene variant has been linked to heightened risk of developing type II diabetes. More...

Cardiomyocytes Derived from Human Pluripotent Cells Function as Pacemakers in Rodent Model

A team of Canadian heart disease researchers has converted human pluripotent stem cells into fully functional heart pacemaker cells and demonstrated their performance in a rodent model. More...

Reprogramming Therapy Reverses Signs of Aging in Mouse Progeria Model

Researchers on the biology of aging have shown that when the type of cellular reprogramming used to produce pluripotent stem cells is applied intermittently to whole animals the aging process can be arrested or reversed without stimulating cancer development. More...

Diet Augmented with Microgreens Lowers Cardiovascular Disease Risk

A diet augmented with red cabbage microgreens countered weight gain in a line of obese mice and reduced levels of cardiovascular disease indicators such as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c). More...

Controlling the Transient Activation of Protein Kinases in Living Cells

The study of the effects of protein kinase enzymes in living cells has been enhanced by the development of a technique to control when and for how long a specific kinase is active. More...
