Mutating viruses helps produce antibodies

... tail-like structures, which latch onto a specific molecule on the bacteria's surface. To avoid the virus, the bacteria frequently switches its surface molecules, much as a person might switch their locks to prevent someone with a key from getting in. "In the world of microbial biowarfare, standing still in ...

DNA transcription to be focused

Protection mechanism of fatty acids for Cancer

...n cancer.// They learned that the omega-3s block a molecule called protein kinase C beta II (PKCbII) - which is linked with abnormal cell division. In this study, genetically-modified mice, which produce excess levels of PKCbII, were given a diet high in omega-3s. This measure was found to decrease the risk...

Modified antibiotic may support fight cancer

According to recent experiments a molecule related to tetracycline can aid stop the spread of cancer cells. Researchers at the University of Iowa have been looking at a new drug called COL-3,// which is related to the well-known antibiotic tetracycline. In a series of experiments, they find t...

Fireflies help speed development of new drugs

New cure for TPP - a rare blood disease

...ng system is missing. This protein is a regulatory molecule and, without it, one of the other clotting proteins sticks to itself, often triggering heart attack or stroke. Though this disease is very rare, occurring in only about 3000 people in a year in the US, it is very serious - being fatal in up to 90 per...

Stroke victims have new hope with activated protein C

...am of researchers has shown that APC blocks p53, a molecule that drives cells towards apoptosis following stroke. APC works through two cellular receptors, called endothelial protein C receptor and protease-activated receptor 1, to reduce the level of p53 in damaged cells by 75 per cent. APC also increases an...

New fertility drug development techniques by Organon

... customizing the follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH) molecule by adding a hybrid subunit, which extends FSH's active life. This was achieved through an international collaboration. This longer active life will mean fewer injections for the infertile patient, making the treatment less difficult// and more patien...

New heart disease marker

...n are now putting the spotlight on a related lipid molecule called// apolipoprotein, which they believe is a more accurate predictor of heart disease than cholesterol. Researchers surveyed extensive medical literature to conclude that apolipoprotein B levels are a more accurate indicator of who is most at ris...

Likely reason which makes analgesics work against Alzheimer's

...These scientists had previously developed a marker molecule called FDDNP that was used to detect the presence of plaque. Plaque is a protein deposit in the brain that is the hallmark of the// Alzheimer's disease. The researchers have now used this marker to find out that the analgesics tend to bind themselves...

Why We Lean to the Left

.... "We believe that serine was the first biological molecule to make a chiral choice, possibly one of the root steps in chemical evolution itself," researcher R. Graham Cooks says in a news release. "Left-handed serine was able to form clusters with strong bonds, and left-handed serine clusters are able to li...

Same molecule found in meat, milk, tumors

A non-human molecule found in red meat and milk makes its way into the human system when eaten -- and seems to build up especially in tumors, say researchers.// The compound, called sialic acid, is found on the surfaces of animal cells but is not found in people, and m...

Inflammation Linked to Colon Cancer

...COX-2 inhibitors. Researchers took the damaged DNA molecule and inserted it into mammalian kidney cells to see if it would replicate, and it did. The mutations seen in the study are similar to those known to cause an inherited form of colon cancer. The investigators conclude chronic inflammation causes genet...

New Molecule that can stop the growth of Viruses

New research shows a molecule that stops the growth of the AIDS virus in the blood may also inhibit the growth of other viruses.// Researchers say alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) -- a protein in the blood -- deactivates cells, stopping viruses from multiplying. In order for cells to ...
