The study, using a new animal model of Alzheimer's disease, suggests a potential breakthrough in treatment strategies. Current therapies mainly focus on blocking just one of the toxic proteins ...

Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each performing a specialized function. Researchers have long known that the ...

"Although both proteins accumulate in the brains of Alzheimer's patients, most animal models used for studying the disease typically focus on only one of these factors," explains researcher Maria ...

The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

June 10, 2024 — Scientists have grown 'mini-guts' in the lab to help understand Crohn's disease, showing that 'switches' that modify DNA in gut cells play an ... Major Cause of Inflammatory ...

When oligomerized, the miniprotein binders induce TLR3 signaling in cells, suggesting they may be useful components of vaccines or treatments for infectious disease ... protein translocates to the ...

with excess animal protein linked to kidney stones and, in people with a pre-existing condition, kidney disease. Some experts say too much protein may impact bone health and, according to the ...

This depends on the type of enzyme. The enzyme pepsin breaks down proteins in the acidic conditions of the stomach. Pepsin has an optimum of pH 2.5 and a working range of between pH 1-4.

If we can learn how this protein controls RNA transfer between cells, we could potentially develop better targeted treatments for human diseases and perhaps even control the inheritance of certain ...
