Proteomics News and Research

RSS

The term 'proteome' was first coined in 1994, and refers to all the proteins in a cell, tissue, or organism. Proteomics refers to the study of the proteome. Because proteins are involved in almost all biological activities, the proteome is a rich source of biological information.

UofL researchers help discover new autoimmune disease that causes kidney failure

Researchers at the University of Louisville were part of a group that discovered an insidious new autoimmune disease that causes kidney failure.

Research reveals presence of potential autoantigen in patients with aggressive kidney disease

New research reveals the presence of abundant levels of a certain protein in the kidneys of patients with fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN). In FGN, large amounts of protein become trapped in the millions of filtering units - or glomeruli - that make up the kidney.

Estrogen acts as upstream regulator for energy metabolism and muscle cell viability, study finds

According to a research conducted at the University of Jyväskylä, estrogen acts as a regulator of muscle energy metabolism and muscle cell viability. Menopause leads to the cessation of ovarian estrogen production concurrent to the deterioration of muscle function.

UTA researcher wins NSF grant to explore new method for accurately analyzing brain image data

Like the organ itself, data collected about the brain is incredibly complex and requires sophisticated methods to sort and analyze. Current methods involve topology, which is a mathematical model that gives a picture of the data, or machine learning, which is a statistical model showing trends. Neither can handle the amounts of data available.
