An Israeli study has eliminated glioblastoma, the most deadly brain tumors,in mice by identifying and destroying their "power source." The Tel Aviv University scientists behind the peer-reviewed research are now working on identifying drugs to replicate the effect in humans.

In a research article published in the journal Nature Communications, the Gothenburg scientists have described their discovery. It concerns a protein that binds genetic material and, as the researchers now show, also controls properties that regulate tumor development.

Strap in, hold onto your hats and grab a glass of wine. This is a long article. And it's very important. Coincidence? Pfizer to Acquire Global Blood Therapeutics for $5.4 Billion to Enhance Presence in Rare Hematology Monday, August 08, 2022 - 06:45am On blood Blood. Ahh blood.

An integrated multiprotein nanopore has been fabricated using components from all three domains of life. This molecular machine opens the door to two approaches in single-molecule protein analysis, in which selected substrate proteins are unfolded, fed to into the proteasomal chamber and then processed either as fragmented peptides or intact polypeptides.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, severely affecting public health and the global economy. Adaptive immunity plays a crucial role in fighting against SARS-CoV-2 infection and directly influences the clinical outcomes of patients.

Scientists developed a new method of controlling certain nerve cells of the brain to manipulate behaviors - and it's delivered via viral injection. In 2016, researchers at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville genetically engineered a magnetized protein, called Magneto, which is inserted into a virus that's injected into an animal's brain to manipulate neural activity under the remote influence of magnetic fields.
