Failure to Dephosphorylate Tau Proteins Leads to Alzheimer's Disease
Researchers have shown that Pin1 (prolyl isomerase) is pivotal in protecting against age-dependent neurodegeneration due to its ability to dephosphorylate tau proteins, a finding that provides insight into the pathogenesis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies.

Semaphorins Play Regulatory Role in Nervous System Development
Researchers looking at the similarities between the immune system and the nervous system have found that semaphorin 7A (Sema7A), a membrane-anchored member of the semaphorin family of guidance proteins previously known for its immunomodulatory effects, can also mediate neuronal functions.

Transcriptome Selection Reveals Tumor Genes
Researchers have identified 57 genes linked to the growth of human tumor cells. These genes were pinpointed as a result of transcriptome-scale selection, which was used to isolate genetic suppressor elements (GSEs) inhibiting breast carcinoma cell growth. More...06 Aug 2003
Molecule Found that Modulates G Protein Degradation
Researchers have found that GAIP interacting protein N terminus (GIPN), a component of the ubiquitin system, plays a key role in the degradation of G proteins, a family of proteins located in the intracellular portion of the plasma membrane. More...06 Aug 2003
