New findings that shed light on how genetic damage to muscle cell proteins can lead to the development of the rare muscle-wasting disease, nemaline myopathy, are reported today (15 March) in the Biochemical Journal.
Young obese subjects carry mitochondrial proteins that contribute to reduced ...
Diet and aerobic exercise are highly effective for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but not for obese subjects that have developed the disease when very young. A study at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine and Trinity College in Dublin demonstrates that obese subjects between 18 and 25 years of age carry mitochondrial proteins and genes that work abnormally and that these anomalies ...
Quantum Dots Spotlight DNA-Repair Proteins In Motion, Says Pitt Expert (Medic...
Repair proteins appear to efficiently scan the genome for errors by jumping like fleas between DNA molecules, sliding along the strands, and perhaps pausing at suspicious spots, say researchers at the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Essex and the University of Vermont who tagged the proteins with quantum dots to watch the action unfold. The findings are available in Molecular Cell...

However, the study found that most of the children aged six months to two years, and some younger than six months, were fed on cassava and mashed plantain - foods that do not contain sufficient energy and proteins for healthy growth.
Changes In Muscle Cell Structure Can Affect Gene Expression (Medical News Today)
New findings that shed light on how genetic damage to muscle cell proteins can lead to the development of the rare muscle-wasting disease, nemaline myopathy, are reported in the Biochemical Journal. Professor Laura Machesky and colleagues from the CRUK Beatson Institute for Cancer Research in Glasgow, tested cultures of muscle cells that displayed mutations of the ACTA1 gene to determine how the ...
Discovery may yield new strategies for blocking malaria transmission (News-Me...
Scientists studying the Anopheles gambiae mosquito - the main vector of malaria - have found that when the mosquito takes a blood meal, that act triggers two enzymes to form a network of crisscrossing proteins around the ingested blood.
MDRNA, Inc. Demonstrates the Potential for Greater Efficacy in Cancer With an...
BOTHELL, WA--(Marketwire - 03/15/10) - MDRNA, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA - News ), a leading RNAi-based drug discovery and development company, today announced enhanced efficacy for tumor reduction when two UsiRNA were combined within a single formulation. The UsiRNAs targeted two proteins survivin, a protein involved in cell division and inhibition of apoptosis, and PLK1 (Polo-like Kinase 1), a protein ...
Quantum Dots Spotlight DNA-repair Proteins in Motion (redOrbit)
PITTSBURGH -- Repair proteins appear to efficiently scan the genome for errors by jumping like fleas between DNA molecules, sliding along the strands, and perhaps pausing at suspicious spots, say researchers at the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Essex and the University of Vermont who tagged the proteins with quantum dots to watch the action unfold.
Light activated 'warhead' turns modest molecules into super protein killers (...
Using a novel light activation technique, scientists have been able to turn molecules with only a modest ability to fight specific proteins into virtual protein destroyers.
New microscopy technique offers close-up, real-time view of cellular phenomen...
For two decades, scientists have been pursuing a potential new way to treat bacterial infections, using naturally occurring proteins known as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Now, scientists have recorded the first microscopic images showing the deadly effects of AMPs, most of which kill by poking holes in bacterial cell membranes.
