Researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered a protein called DPY30 that helps pancreatic tumors hide from the immune system. Blocking this protein could make stubborn tumors respond to immunotherapy, offering fresh hope for patients with limited treatment options.
Northwestern University researchers discovered a biomarker that could finally treat the cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia that current medications miss. A synthetic protein tested in animal models successfully reversed brain abnormalities linked to memory and thinking problems.
Researchers accidentally discovered a protein that appears only on cancer cells, not healthy tissue. This breakthrough could help doctors create more precise cancer treatments with fewer side effects.
Scientists at UC Davis have mapped the complete structure of augmin, a protein that shapes both plant cells and plays a role in human cancer and infertility. The breakthrough could lead to new medical treatments and stronger crop varieties.
Scientists at Monash University discovered a tick protein that blocks two types of immune signals at once, a breakthrough that could lead to more effective treatments for rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and other inflammatory diseases. This natural protein works differently than anything found before.
Scientists just pinpointed a microscopic protein region that keeps hearts beating steadily, opening doors to future treatments for devastating heart conditions. The breakthrough could help millions born with or developing life-threatening heart rhythm problems.
Scientists in Singapore have identified a protein that can restore aging brain cells' ability to regenerate, potentially protecting memory and learning as we grow older. The breakthrough could lead to treatments that slow or reverse cognitive decline.
