Computational verification of protein-protein interactions by orthologous co-expression

...arce. Because the liver's production of sugar is a damaging problem in people with diabetes, the proteins' interaction might be a target for future drugs to fight the disease, the researchers say. Under normal circumstances, the liver's production of sugar is a back-up plan that enables survival during food ...

... because they allow the formation of ice crystals, damaging the cells and rendering the egg unusable. This problem has now been resolved by a new method of rapid freezing called vitrification developed at McGill by Dr. Ri-Cheng Chian, Scientific Director of the McGill Reproductive Centre at the MUHC and Dr. T...

As a result, they are more resistant to radiation than surrounding healthy cells, which need oxygen to live. Roth hypothesizes that temporarily eliminating oxygen depen...

...n the environment, but it's also very reactive and damaging when in excess," said Nancy Andrews, senior author of the study. "Mammals have therefore evolved mechanisms to get enough iron from the diet, but not too much." Iron is an essential ingredient of hemoglobin, the protein molecule in red blood cells t...

The artificial cornea is entirely manmade, but does utilize donated corneal tissue, said Afshari. Available devices include a front and back plate, which would first be attached to a don...

Researchers reveal the infectious impact of salmon farms on wild salmon

...his increase in sea lice abundance is likely to be damaging for already dwindling wild salmon populations in British Columbia, where the study took place. In Europe, transfer of parasites is generally accepted as a significant threat to adjacent wild populations ?although European studies have not measured t...
