MICU1 the protein was essential for the absorption of calcium in the mitochondria, and this finding could be useful for new therapies for diabetes and other diseases. Nature published two studies that clarify the way in which mitochondria consume calcium to supply energy to cells. Researchers have begun to identify proteins essential for the absorption [...]
Novartis Siena drew fHBP the protein that incorporates three different antigenic variants that can stimulate the immune system against various pathogens. Some scientists at Novartis Vaccines, Siena, in collaboration with the University of Florence have identified a chimeric protein useful for the design of new vaccines. FHBP protein (Factor H Binding Protein) was identified by [...]
Possible to use an artificial device able to mimic the interactions between CA1 and CA3 of the hippocampus and the best and to restore the memory function. A team of researchers at Wake Forest University and University of Southern California has created an artificial hippocampus and were tested on rats. The researchers, including Theodore Berger, [...]
Thanks to the nanotube drug carrier an international team was able to release the correct amount of medicine to repair damaged areas of the brain affected by stroke. The Institute of Neurosciences of the National Research Council of Pisa (In-CNR) in collaboration with University College London and University of Florence has conducted research to test [...]
A U.S. team found that oxidative stress induces increased synthesis of protein SIRT6 able to repair the rupture of double-stranded DNA. Were published in the journal Science the results of a survey dall”Universita of Rochester (USA) and has made the role of oxidative stress in a cell. During normal activities of the cell are made [...]
Tested on mice, a new treatment that involves stimulation of the immune system to eliminate cancer without using chemotherapy drugs. In a study conducted by some employees of the United Kingdom and the Mayo Clinic has pioneered a new treatment for prostate cancer. They were taken a few fragments of DNA from prostate tissue from [...]
Researchers have halted the development of neurodegeneration targeting a specific enzyme, KMO in Drosophila, including improving the symptoms. Patients suffering from Huntington’s disease to pay attention: some scientists from the United Kingdom and the United States have discovered a new method to treat this neurodegenerative disease that affects muscle coordination and leads to cognitive decline [...]
