Faulty Protein Interaction Disrupts Neuromuscular Junctions and Triggers ALS
Humans and mice are protected from developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by the action of muscle fibers that secrete and concentrate the fibroblast growth factor binding protein 1 (FGFBP1) at neuromuscular junctions. More...01 Dec 2016



Phosphorylation of Tau Protein Inhibits Amyloid-beta Toxicity in Alzheimer’s Model
A team of Australian Alzheimer's disease (AD) researchers have presented evidence suggesting that phosphorylation of tau protein in the early stages of the disease acts to protect against the toxicity of amyloid-beta (Abeta) plaques, and that this protective effect disappears as the disease progresses. More...29 Nov 2016

Blocking the Acsl14 Enzyme Prevents Ferroptosis-Linked Cell Death
Inhibiting the enzyme Acsl4 (acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4), which is involved in fatty acid metabolism, has been postulated to be a viable therapeutic approach to preventing ferroptosis-related diseases. More...25 Nov 2016

Lung and Tracheal Tissue Expected to Aid Respiratory Disease Research
By modifying a technique for growing cultured intestinal tissue, researchers have developed a tissue-engineered model of the lung and trachea, which contains the diverse cell types present in the human respiratory tract. More...25 Nov 2016
