Prof. Michael Fainzilber and his team of the Weizmann Institute’s Biological Chemistry Department seem to have unexpectedly found part of the answer. Further research towards a better understanding of the mechanism of action might hopefully lead, in the future, to the development of drugs that will be able to induce regression of certain tumors. http://www.huliq.com/11/86129/scientists-discover-protein-leads-pediatric-tumor-regression#comments Health pediatric cancer proteins Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:12:24 -0500 harminka 86129 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/80377/recycler-protein-helps-prevent-disease Recycling is important not only on a global scale, but also at the cellular level, since key molecules tend to be available in limited numbers. This means a cell needs to have efficient recycling mechanisms. http://www.huliq.com/11/80377/recycler-protein-helps-prevent-disease#comments Science proteins Thu, 30 Apr 2009 12:23:08 -0500 harminka 80377 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/79649/study-identifies-anti-cancer-effect-longevity-protein-sirt1 Yuan et al. have identified another anti-cancer effect of the "longevity" protein SIRT1. By speeding the destruction of the tumor promoter c-Myc, SIRT1 curbs cell division. The study will be published online April 13 (www.jcb.org) and will appear in the April 20 print issue of the Journal of Cell Biology. http://www.huliq.com/11/79649/study-identifies-anti-cancer-effect-longevity-protein-sirt1#comments Health Cancer Treatment proteins Mon, 13 Apr 2009 09:19:32 -0500 harminka 79649 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/79610/3d-structures-human-clock-controling-proteins-modeled In an Early Edition issue of The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on April 9, 2009, the researchers report that they have been able to determine the molecular structure of a plant photolyase protein that is surprisingly similar to two cryptochrome proteins that control the "master clock" in humans and other mammals. http://www.huliq.com/11/79610/3d-structures-human-clock-controling-proteins-modeled#comments Health human circadian clocks proteins Sun, 12 Apr 2009 02:27:19 -0500 harminka 79610 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/79432/high-fat-diets-plus-extra-protein-make-bad-mix It's basically a given that diets loaded with fat can lead to considerable health problems. But a new study in the April issue of Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication, shows that in some cases diets that are high in both fat and protein can be even worse. http://www.huliq.com/11/79432/high-fat-diets-plus-extra-protein-make-bad-mix#comments Health high-fat diets proteins Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:10:22 -0500 harminka 79432 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/76323/human-beta-cell-replication-regulating-proteins-discovered Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, funded by JDRF, have discovered that adult beta cells have the ability to replicate with the help of a protein known as cdk6. http://www.huliq.com/11/76323/human-beta-cell-replication-regulating-proteins-discovered#comments Science beta cells proteins Sun, 18 Jan 2009 12:13:43 -0600 harminka 76323 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/76274/key-protein-may-cause-cancer-cell-death-identified Researchers at A*STAR's Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) have become the first to discover and characterize a human protein called Bax-beta (Baxβ), which can potentially cause the death of cancer cells and lead to new approaches in cancer treatment.
