Differential Production of Amyloid Proteins Marks Hereditary Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease researchers employing SILK technology have shown that individuals with a hereditary form of AD overproduce type 42 amyloid beta protein, which readily accumulates in the amyloid plaques that characterize the disease. More...24 Jun 2013

Signaling Protein Stabilizes Heterochromatin and Suppresses Tumor Growth
Genomics researchers have found that the unphosphorylated form of the STAT5A signaling protein functions as a tumor suppressor by stabilizing heterochromatin, which blocks the expression of multiple oncogenes. More...20 Jun 2013

Immune System Regulator Allows Inflammatory Response While Preventing Autoimmune Attack
The BACH2 gene was shown to encode for a protein that acts as a master immune system regulator by enabling inflammatory response to disease causing agents on the one hand and by preventing a hyper-inflammatory response and autoimmune attack on the other. More...18 Jun 2013
