| New target receptor discovered in the fight against obesity Posted: 25 Nov 2016 07:47 AM PST The essential role that the receptor FFAR2 plays in the success of fermentable carbohydrates -- found in foods such as vegetables, fruit, breads, cereals and pasta - in suppressing appetite and preventing obesity is now better understood, thanks to new research. |
| New territory analyzing DNA modifications in glioblastoma Posted: 25 Nov 2016 07:46 AM PST A new investigation describes the distribution of a DNA defect in the glioblastoma genome and its relationship with patient survival. |
| Connection found between memory mechanisms, resistance to epilepsy Posted: 25 Nov 2016 05:43 AM PST A genetic change in the protein eEF2K creates resistance to epileptic attacks, thereby creating the possibility of a new treatment for the disease, show the surprising results of a new study. |
| Enough is enough: Stem cell factor Nanog knows when to slow down Posted: 25 Nov 2016 05:42 AM PST The transcription factor Nanog plays a crucial role in the self-renewal of embryonic stem cells. Previously unclear was how its protein abundance is regulated in the cells. Researchers now report that the more Nanog there is on hand, the less reproduction there is. |
| Imaging technique measures toxicity of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's proteins Posted: 23 Nov 2016 11:20 AM PST A new imaging technique has been created that makes it possible to study why proteins associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases may go from harmless to toxic. The technique uses a technology called multi-dimensional super-resolution imaging that makes it possible to observe changes in the surfaces of individual protein molecules as they clump together. The tool may allow researchers to pinpoint how proteins misfold and eventually become toxic to nerve cells in the brain, which could aid in the development of treatments for these devastating diseases. |
