Scientists examine Hookworm proteins as potential inflammation treatment

Scientists examine Hookworm proteins as potential inflammation treatment

It was a long reality that with age increased inflammation appears-so widely accepted that it was called “inflammation”. Along with this increase in chronic inflammation associated with age, there are also serious health problems, such as cardiovascular and Alzheimer. But according to new research, inflammation is not as common as previously thought. Published today in […]

Intestinal bacteria produce hormone -like proteins that regulate blood sugar weight and level

Intestinal bacteria produce hormone -like proteins that regulate blood sugar weight and level

Our intestines are home for trillion microorganisms that produce substances capable of regulating all organ organs using a bloodstream and intestinal nervous system. However, only little is known about the impact of most bacteria that make up our microbiome. Now an international team of scientists under the leadership of the University of Copenhagen has identified […]

Umbilical cord proteins help detect early sepsis in premature babies

Umbilical cord proteins help detect early sepsis in premature babies

Scientists from Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and colleagues identified several proteins from the blood of the umbilical blood of premature newborns, which signal acute systemic inflammation as a response to infection, ensuring objective and non -invasive diagnosis of early sepsis. This discovery can be […]

The new approach can prevent neurotoxic proteins in ALS

The new approach can prevent neurotoxic proteins in ALS

Scientists from Goethe University, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and Kiel University discover a possible method of preventing protein aggregates – the Cluster4future Proxidrugs research project. If the TDP-43 protein is defective inside the nerve cell, it can create neurotoxic aggregates that cause a neurodegenerative lateral nitrogenic sclerosis (ALS). Nerve cells are also damaged by TDP-43 […]

Generation of mutant proteins via adversarial attacks on the AlphaFold2 model

Generation of mutant proteins via adversarial attacks on the AlphaFold2 model

Announcement of a new publication in the magazine. Proteins are essential macromolecules that perform functions according to their conformational dynamics. The study of conformational changes induced by protein mutations is a standard approach used to understand the underlying mechanisms mutation-related physiological and pathological processes. To increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of biological experiments, […]
