The amount of each of the more than a thousand different glycoproteins in your blood varies widely, with the 10 most abundant glycoproteins accounting for 90% of the total mass. Finding a protein that isn’t in Read More
It has long been established that emotions reflect in our voice—this helps us communicate more purposefully and gives listeners cues as to how they should interpret what we say. But what emotions predominate in Read More
Early fallopian tube cell changes were found in a high‑risk patient. A live tissue bank and organoid system will help explore initial ovarian cancer development. Very little is currently understood about the origins of Read More
Data mining uncovers treasure-trove of previously 'untouchable' proteins for drug
Molecular glues, tiny molecules that connect one protein to another, are promising targets for pharmaceutical research. By linking a disease-related protein to one that triggers a cell’s demolition and recycling pathways, pharmaceutical researchers have Read More
