Crucial Mitophagy Protein Identified

A receptor protein located on the inner mitochondrial membrane has been identified as a critical initiator of the process of mitochondrial destruction known as mitophagy. More...

Artificial Stem Cells Promote Cardiac Repair in Mouse Model

A team of biomedical engineers created a novel class of artificial stem cells that mimic the function of cardiac stem cells and aid repair of damaged heart tissue without danger of adverse immune response or the possibility of tumor generation. More...

Image: Mutations associated with Alzheimer\'s disease alter the surface structure of the TREM2 protein, while mutations linked to Nasu-Hakola disease disrupt the protein\'s interior. Such alterations may impair TREM2\'s normal role in removing cellular waste via phagocytosis (Photo courtesy of Daniel L. Kober, Washington University School of Medicine).

Single Mutation Causes Two Separate Neurodegenerative Diseases

Resolution of the X-ray crystallography structure of variants of TREM2 (Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2) protein revealed that mutations responsible for Nasu-Hakola disease were buried deep within the core of the folded protein, while mutations associated with Alzheimer’s disease resided on the surface of the protein.

Activation of Channel Proteins Slows Cancer Cell Growth and Impairs Metastatic Capability

A team of German researchers working with an aggressive breast cancer cell line showed that activation of TRPV1, a transient receptor potential channels protein, caused significant inhibition of cancer cell growth and induced apoptosis and necrosis. More...

Soil Bacteria As a Rich Source of Enediyne Antibiotics and Anti-Cancer Compounds

Following the screening of more than 3,400 different actinomycete (soil bacteria) isolates, researchers have isolated several powerful new antibiotics and potential anti-cancer compounds. More...

Assessment of Tau Protein Status for Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease

The ratio of normal to aggregated tau protein found in blood platelets has been suggested as a biomarker that could be used for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease. More...

ARID1A Mutations Linked to ATR Anti-Cancer Drug Sensitivity

A team of British cancer researchers suggested in a recent paper that screening for mutations in the ARID1A (AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A) gene could aid in identifying patients with tumors sensitive to the ATR inhibitor class of anti-cancer drugs. More...
