Virus-host interactions at sea effect global photosynthesis
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that it has for the first time released the chip design, probe sequence and annotation information for all of its microarrays. The release of this information is expected to improve cross-laboratory experimental research and cross-platform data comparison. "Full release of the probe sequences is an admirable and responsible position for A...Computational verification of protein-protein interactions by orthologous co-expression
In the March 3 issue of Nature, Johns Hopkins researchers report that two proteins best known for very different activities actually come together to turn the liver into a sugar-producing factory when food is scarce. 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 research...Complex gene interactions account for autism risk
Using a novel analysis of the interactions among related genes, Duke University Medical Center researchers have uncovered some of the first evidence that complex genetic interactions account for autism risk. The Duke team found that the brain mechanism that normally stops or slows nerve impulses contributes to the disease. The team's findings implicate the so-called GABA receptor genes, wh...A real time look at interactions between RNA and proteins
For the first time, researchers can now peer inside intact cells to not only identify RNA-binding proteins, but also observe–in real-time–the intricate activities of these special molecules that make them key players in managing some of the cell's most basic functions. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine who developed the new technology see this advance as one of the...U of MN researchers develop way to visualize synchronized interactions of nerve cells in the brain
Researchers at the University of Minnesota Medical School and the Brain Sciences Center at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center have discovered a new way to assess how brain networks act together. Work funded by the MIND Institute (New Mexico) led Apostolos P. Georgopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., professor of neuroscience, neurology, and psychiatry, and collaborators to a novel way to assess the dyna...Protein-Protein Interactions, from Pierce Biotechnology, Inc.
Description:These are just some the things youll be telling others after you read your copy of Protein-Protein Interactions, edited by Erica Golemis One look at the table of contents of this skillfully edited compilation of topics in protein interaction will tell you immediately that this is a text that must be a part of your personal protein chemistry library. You will want a keep a copy for the lab too...New Mammalian Two-Hybrid System Detects Protein-Protein Interactions
Stratagene hybrid genes are used to detect protein-protein interactions via the activationof reporter gene expression. This expression occurs as a resul...Video game technology could improve physician-patient interactions
The development of the game is the next step in the life of Fred Kron, an assistant clinical professor at the <a href...Business blogs increase customer interactions

More than 40 new peer-reviewed protocols have been added to the records of Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, an online journal, which publishes techniques used in a variety of// biology laboratories. Two methods for analyzing protein interactions have been described in the new collection. These techniques will be of immense help to several cell and molecular biologists especially those inv...Cancer Patients are at High Risk for Potential Drug Interactions
Potential drug interactions from prescribed medications are common among cancer patients and may cause// unnecessary harm, according to a study in the April 18 Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Cancer patients often take several medications at the same time, not only for treating their cancer but also for side effects and other secondary illnesses. Because of this, they can be...Protein Interactions Targets for Huntington Disease Therapy
The identification of more than 200 new proteins that interact with the mutated protein that causes Huntingtons disease opens the door to developing treatments for the fatal neurodegenerative disorder, said a Baylor College of Medicine researcher who took part in the work that appears online today in the journal Public Library of Science Genetics. BCM scientists actually determined...Studies Identify Interactions Between Heart Disease, Kidney Disease
Anemia and other conditions related to chronic kidney disease are independently associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease; conversely , heart disease is associated with a decline in kidney function and the development of kidney disease, according to two reports in the issue of Archives of Internal Medicine. Chronic kidney disease is becoming increasingly prevalent in the Un...The Medical Letter's Handbook of Adverse Drug Interactions
