With 7000+ rare diseases there are many opportunities for plasma proteins to provide meaningful protein replacement therapies for patients suffering from rare/ultra rare conditions. Prioritized ...

Many neurological diseases are caused by misfolded proteins that gather in large, destructive clumps, causing neuronal degeneration. Some of these proteins can also convert normal versions into their ...

A new study has identified an enzyme that plays an important role in breaking down unneeded or damaged proteins in the heart -- an important process for maintaining heart health.

Research on thousands of proteins measured from a drop of blood demonstrates the ability of proteins to predict the onset of many diverse diseases ... approximately 3,000 plasma proteins from ...

This will enable researchers to track how distinct plasma proteins evolve over time in people with PD, which could help establish an early-warning system for the emergence of the disease.
