Cardiomyopathy Linked to Faulty Regulation of Heart Protein Succinylation
The enzyme SIRT5, also known as sirtuin (silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog) 5, was found to play a critical role in maintaining healthy cardiac function by regulating the lysine succinylation modification of heart cell proteins. More...28 Apr 2016




Study Identifies Mechanism Underlying a Form of Sensory Nerve Damage
Researchers have discovered a mechanism that underlies induction of peripheral neuropathy (PN) by the chemotherapeutic agent paclitaxel, raising the prospects for developing treatments for this and possibly also for certain other forms of PN. The work may also lead to companion diagnostics to identify patients who would benefit from these new therapies. More...27 Apr 2016

Pathway Implicated in Development of Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Scientists have identified a protein whose dysfunction appears to be involved in causing the tissue damage in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). The finding may lead to improved pathology analysis, diagnostics, and specific drug therapies for patients. More...26 Apr 2016
