Mutations in the BRCA1 gene, which are inherited (embryo line) or acquired (somatic), may not be the key to initiating prostate cancer, as previously thought, suggests the first such study, published online in the journal Open Access Journal In the case of further studies confirmed, the results suggest that there may be time to re-treatment […]
Clinical examination supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) testing experimental treatment little to help people suffering from dengi, viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes. The study is supported by the NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious disease (NIAID) and will require the exposure of adult volunteers to a weakened dengi virus strain, which […]
Proteins are life engines that drive processes such as muscle movement, vision and chemical reactions. Their lipid circles or other condensed phases-critical for their functions, shaping their structure and interactions. However, many modern protein design methods, including tools based on artificial intelligence, often ignore the way this environment affect proteins. This gap limits our ability […]

Protein glycosylation is a basic biological process regulating various cellular functions, but its study is hampered by the complexity and low abundance of glycoproteins. In a groundbreaking study published in , scientists from Fudan University developed a chemical ligation-based glycopeptide enrichment strategy called HG-TC. This method uses advanced solid-phase materials and bioorthogonal chemistry to simultaneously […]
A study by Rutgers Health shows that donating more blood to anemic patients after a heart attack could save lives. The study, published in , confirms a 2023 study that suggested mortality or recurrent heart attacks were more common in anemic patients who received less blood. Both studies were led by Jeffrey L. Carson, provost […]
