Biomarkers Demonstrate Potential as Indicators of HD Progression

Several peripheral biomarkers have been identified that demonstrate the potential to serve as indicators to assess progression of Huntington’s disease. More...

Human Monoclonal Antibodies Prevent Congenital Transfer of Zika Virus in Mice

A class of human monoclonal antibodies specific for Zika virus was found to prevent transfer of the virus from pregnant mice to the fetus as well as protecting adult mice from infection. More...

Modulation of Redox Environment Increases Breast Cancer Aggressiveness

Cancer researchers have identified an enzyme that promotes the transition of breast tissue from epithelial (non-cancerous) to mesenchymal (metastatic cancer-like) modes during the development of invasive triple negative breast cancer. More...

Inhibition of Galactin-3 Reverses Insulin Resistance in Diabetes and Obesity Models

Chemical or genetic inhibition of the protein galectin-3 (Gal3) was shown to reverse insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in mouse models of obesity and diabetes. More...

Proteins in Cell Nuclear Membrane Actively Influence Gene Expression

A team of cell biologists has brought to light new information as to how proteins in the nuclear membrane act to regulate the expression of genes that determine how a cell functions and what role it plays in the organism. More...

Image: The XLRS is caused by mutations in the retinal protein retinoschisin. The protein plays a crucial role in the cellular organization of the retina, assembling itself to form paired octameric (consisting of eight retinoschisin) rings. The rings each resemble an eight-bladed propeller (Photo courtesy of the University of Manchester).

Report Describes Mechanism Underlying Genetic Eye Disease

The molecular mechanism responsible for the genetic eye disease X-linked Retinoschisis (XLRS), which leads to a type of macular degeneration in which the inner layers of the retina split causing severe loss of vision and gradual blindness, was described in a recent publication. More...

Image: Schematic of a gateway in the nuclear membrane, known as the nuclear pore complex (NPC), and the proteins (shown as spheres) involved in transport and quality control of mRNAs (shown in red). A combination of a multitude of protein-protein interactions enables the cell to distinguish and keep aberrant mRNAs from exiting the nucleus (Photo courtesy of Mohammad Soheilypour, Berkeley National Laboratory).

Messenger RNA Quality Control Mechanism Explained

Genomics researchers have described a mechanism that explains how molecules of messenger RNA (mRNA) are checked for accuracy before being released from the nucleus into the cytoplasm. More...
