A protein expressed at the surface of red blood cells infected by Plasmodium falciparum could be a key player in the vascular pathology that leads to severe malaria by binding to the gC1qR receptor, a...
Read moreDos grupos de investigación vascos, uno de la UPV/EHU y el centro Achucarro, y otro del CIC biomaGUNE han identificado una nueva diana terapéutica que contribuye al proceso inflamatorio en los episo...
Read moreLo que hizo el equipo de Lu es cultivar las células ‘editadas’ aumentando su número e inyectándoselas de nuevo al paciente. La esperanza es que, sin las proteínas PD-1, las células corregidas...
Read moreThe CNIO Melanoma Group has identified a new factor essential for the development of these aggressive tumours. This protein helps to define aspects that distinguish melanoma from other types of cancer...
Read moreLa Universitat de València lidera un equipo de investigación que ha identificado qué proteínas participan en el inicio de la conversión de células adultas en células madre pluripotentes inducid...
Read moreFabry disease belongs to the lisosomal disorders group and it is characterized by the deficiency of the enzymatic activity of α-galactosidase A. The lack of this enzyme causes cell damage which affec...
Read moreA study at IRB Barcelona sheds light on the dynamics of protein aggregates that behave like “droplets of oil in water” and that are described as membraneless cytoplasmic organelles. These organell...
Read moreSegún un estudio liderado por la UPF, la acción de este compuesto promueve la formación de los oligómeros de proteína beta-amiloide presentes en la enfermedad de Alzhéimer.
Read moreInvestigadores de la Universidad de Extremadura y del Centro Nacional de Biotecnología han relacionado, mediante la inducción de estrés hiperosmótico, la acción de la proteasa caspasa-3 sobre la ...
Read moreThe Fas protein can either inhibit or promote the controlled cell death (apoptosis), depending on the isoform in which it occurs. Researchers from the Helmholtz Zentrum München, the Technical Univers...
Read moreThis approach has been applied in software that identifies molecules with more possibilities to join the targeted protein. “The method allows selecting molecules that can be starting points to creat...
Read moreA study at IRB Barcelona has identified the cells responsible for initiating and promoting metastasis in several types of human tumours. Their results show that the protein CD36, which absorbs fat fro...
