Proteins are complex molecules that are made up of amino acids. They can be found in every cell in the body, and carry out vital processes that keep human beings alive. Mutations in proteins can lead to a multitude of diseases, the most common being cancer.

Understanding the link between high-fat diets, insulin resistance, and diabetic heart disease

The relationship between a high-fat diet and increased risk of Type 2 diabetes and heart disease is well-known. But what is the connection and how does it work?

Twendee X shows promise in reducing oxidative stress in systemic sclerosis

Autoimmune diseases occur when the body's immune system attacks healthy cells instead of protecting them.

Proteins in the blood could warn people of cancer more than seven years before it is diagnosed

Researchers from the UK investigated associations between 1,463 plasma proteins and 19 cancers, using observational and genetic approaches in participants of the UK Biobank.

Johns Hopkins researchers identify key electrical activity behind congenital night blindness

In what they believe is a solution to a 30-year biological mystery, neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have used genetically engineered mice to address how one mutation in the gene for the light-sensing protein rhodopsin results in congenital stationary night blindness.

New test enhances early detection of large vessel occlusion stroke

Stroke is the leading cause of disability worldwide and the second leading cause of death, but the right early intervention can prevent severe consequences.

The role of follicular fluid glutamine in granulosa cell apoptosis and ovulation

The study found that FSH controls follicular fluid (FF) glutamine levels to determine ovulation. In mice, ovulation starts from FF-exposing granulosa cell (GC) apoptosis. FF glutamine, which decreases in pre-ovulation porcine FF, elevates in PCOS patients FF.

Study identifies key gluten peptide triggering leaky gut in celiac patients

Today is International Celiac Day. Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune condition that occurs in around one per cent of the world's population.

Reviving a rejected drug: New selective antibiotic shows promise

Twenty years ago, a drug candidate was rejected due to its side effects. Researchers have now figured out how to potentially make a successor molecule more selective.

Boosting mitochondrial health can reverse protein clumping in aging and Alzheimer's

It has long been known that a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, and most other neurodegenerative diseases, is the clumping together of insoluble protein aggregates in the brain.

Novel gene-delivery vehicle shows promise for treating brain disorders

In an important step toward more effective gene therapies for brain diseases, researchers from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have engineered a gene-delivery vehicle that uses a human protein to efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier and deliver a disease-relevant gene to the brain in mice expressing the human protein.

SMART researchers identify key mechanism behind artemisinin resistance in malaria

Researchers from the Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG) at Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), MIT's research enterprise in Singapore, in collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC), and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), have discovered a link between malaria parasites' ability to develop resistance to antimalarial drugs – specifically artemisinin (ART) – through a cellular process called transfer Ribonucleic acid (tRNA) modification.
