Study shows competitive fitness of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants linked to their distinctiveness relative to identified lineages

Researchers defined a novel polynucleotide-based Distinctiveness metric to capture the proteome-level differences of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants and lineages against all previously identified ones.

Researchers solve the structure of large signaling protein involved in emergence of blood cancers

Researchers led by Christopher Garcia of the Ludwig Center at Stanford University have solved the long-sought structure of a large signaling protein involved in responses to infection, inflammation, the generation of immune cells and when dysregulated by mutation - the emergence of blood cancers known as myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Scientists identify a new protein that turbocharges gene expression

For many years, scientists have sought to understand what happens when our genes are flipped to the "on" position. Now, scientists at the University of California San Diego and Rutgers University have identified a new protein that contributes to this important process.

Blood test shows promise to identify Alzheimer's changes in the brain before symptom onset

The University of Kentucky's Sanders-Brown Center on Aging has been around for nearly half a century. In that time, they have built an international reputation for best-in-class research into a disease that kills more people every year than breast and prostate cancer combined – Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers identify motor neuron toxin associated with ALS

An international team of investigators has discovered that an inorganic polyphosphate released by nerve cells known as astrocytes in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) contributes to the motor neuron death that is the signature of these diseases.

A balanced diet with proteins from various different sources may reduce risk of hypertension

Eating a balanced diet including protein from a greater variety of sources may help adults lower the risk of developing high blood pressure, according to new research published today in Hypertension, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.

Alzheimer’s disease protein helps skin cancer cells thrive when they metastasize to the brain

Amyloid beta, a protein known to build up in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, also helps skin cancer cells thrive when they spread to the brain, a new study finds.
