How does a molecular freight elevator work? Bonn researchers study an important membrane transport mechanism in pathogenic bacteria UNIVERSITATSKLINIKUM BONN – Some bacterial membrane transporters work almost like freight elevators to transport substances through the cell membrane into the interior…
Naturally Occurring Variant of SHLP2 May Offer Protection Against Parkinson’s Disease, Study Finds
Researchers have identified a naturally occurring variant of SHLP2 that may offer protection against Parkinson’s disease (PD). The study, published in Molecular Psychiatry, delves into the functional role of a mitochondrial DNA single nucleotide polymorphism (mtSNP) associated with reduced PD…
Protein structures signal fresh targets for anticancer drugs
Protein structures signal fresh targets for anticancer drugs Cell replication in our bodies is triggered by a cascade of molecular signals transmitted between proteins. Compounds that block these signals when they run amok show potential as cancer drugs. Scientists have…
Enhancing Organoid Culture Optimization and the Importance of Growth Factor Bioactivity and Reagent Consistency
An organoid is a simplified and smaller version of an organ produced in vitro. Organoids resemble the cellular architecture and composition of the original tissue and demonstrate functional similarities. This article talks about enhancing organoid culture optimization and the importance…
New Treatment for Cancer Targets Chaotic Protein MYC
A groundbreaking new treatment for cancer has been developed by researchers at the University of California-Riverside. The treatment targets the chaotic protein, MYC, which is linked to 75% of all cancer cases in humans. MYC, known for its pivotal role…
