...luronan (HA), and LARG. CD44 is a surface receptor molecule that plays an important role in a variety of cellular functions. Hyaluronan (HA) is a complex carbohydrate found in the connective tissues between cells. LARG is a signal activator found in tumor cells. The triple interaction results in the initiatio...

A protein in the brain paves way for Alzheimer's treatment

...ay. The crucial point is now to discover a small molecule that resembles and functions in the same way as this protein. Abeta-blocking compound would likely be used in conjunction with other therapies, such as a promising new Alzheimer's vaccine. Alzheimer's drug therapy would also require ongoing doses ove...

Cancer Research UK Offers New Hope To Cancer Patients

..., the company will be given the option to take the molecule back and develop it themselves, or to leave it in the hands of the CRT scientists. Harpal Kumar CRT chief executive hopes that the scheme that would cost up to £2 million a year, will help to identify at least five more drug molecules annually, to...

Insulin Crystals Holds Promise In Diabetes research

...is the reason for these crystals. After an insulin molecule is produced from proinsulin, it attaches to an insulin crystal only in special locations where other insulin molecules have formed right angles, called kinks. Using atomic-force microscopy, they discovered a new mechanism by which insulin molecules a...

Nanotechnology Could Revolutionize Cardiac Treatment

...a structure known as a micelle. Uhrich synthesized molecule chains with several different characteristics, such as attracting or repelling water or having a positive or negative charge. When the chains assembled into micelles, Mogue tested them for how well they blocked LDL uptake. ‘We're employing the tool...

Link Between Immune System And Nervous System

...e RANTES, to increase the calcium flow. The RANTES molecule is important because it binds to another cell receptor, CCR5, which is crucial in allowing common strains of HIV (R5 strains) to infect immune cells. Significantly, when the investigators added the drug aprepitant, which binds to NK-1R, to their ce...

Discovery Of New Molecule Could Solve Cancer Spread Mystery

...er Cell says that scientists have identified a new molecule that could resolve the mystery of how cancer progresses.// This molecule was found to inhibit the progression of lethal malignant glioma cells both in vivo as well as in vit...

Researchers Develop Potent Cancer Killer From Vitamin E Derivative

...xL protein, disabling it. However, the vitamin E molecule has a long, coiled, protruding tail that keeps the molecule from fitting tightly, and more effectively, into the groove. ‘Once we identified how the agent and...

New Research May Be Useful for Developing Drugs for HIV and Cancer

...n interacts with platinum, the zinc portion of the molecule is ejected from the protein chain. This causes the protein to lose its tertiary structure or overall shape. For these molecules, shape is an important property that enables the protein to carry out certain biological functions. The process, active ...

Cancer-Causing Virus Synthesizes Protein To Help Sustain Itself In Host Cells

... in only a few retroviruses, including HIV. A DNA molecule is somewhat like a railroad track that is twisted into a double helix. The two rails correspond to the complementary strands of the DNA backbone, while the ties correspond to the chemical base pairs that hold the two strands together and encode genet...

Restriction of Carbohydrates to Prevent Alzheimer's Disease

... caloric restriction through promotion of SIRT1 (a molecule associated with brain longevity) may initiate a cascade of events like the activation of alpha-secretase which can prevent AD amyloid neuropathology. Since alpha-secretase is known also to inhibit the generation of beta-amyloid peptides in the AD aff...

Growth Factor Aids in Regeneration of Heart Blood Vessel
