Scientists at Purdue University and the Scripps Research Institute have identified a natural compound from a common shrub that could help fight cancer. The compound is the first found to inhibit a cancer protein that was previously considered “undruggable.”Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, Drug, Drugs, Purdue University, Scripps Research Institute

Lovebug cat food is the latest to substitute insect protein for meat
Posted by ArielTechGeek 1 day 3 hours ago (https://newatlas.com)
More and more, insect protein is being suggested as a more sustainable alternative to meat. Humans aren't the only omnivores, though, which is why a new insect-based cat food should soon be hitting the market – and it won't be the only one.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Insect, Cats, Sustainable, Food, Pets, Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Protein bath helps "recellularize" organs for safer transplants
Posted by ArielTechGeek 11 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Organ transplants save lives, but complications can arise if the recipient’s immune system rejects the foreign cells. An emerging technique reduces that risk by stripping the donor cells out of the donor organ and replacing them with the recipient’s own, and now a new study has added an extra step to make that process more effective.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Organ donation,
Scientists harvest valuable protein and fiber from spent brewery grain
Posted by ArielTechGeek 13 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
The brewing of beer produces great quantities of leftover grain, which often ends up being processed into cattle feed. Scientists have developed a new method of extracting the protein and fiber from that waste, however, for use by humans.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: American Chemical Society, Virginia Tech, Beer, Waste, Recycling, Brewing, Protein, Fiber, Biofuel
Protein discovery promises powerful new muscle regrowth treatments
Posted by ArielTechGeek 69 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Although muscle stem cells are able to grow and repair torn muscle tissue after we sustain an injury, they become less effective as we age. Now researchers at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute at Monash University have discovered a novel protein that can trigger the proliferation of these stem cells and promote healing, offering hope not only to those who have torn a muscle, but also
Researchers in Australia and China have shed new light on the murky origins of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, which could eventually lead to new treatments. The team uncovered a mechanism for how toxic tangles of tau proteins leak into healthy brain cells.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Alzheimer's Disease, Brain, Neuroscience, University of Queensland, China, A
Designer protein helps paralyzed mice walk again in breakthrough study
Posted by ArielTechGeek 93 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
In a new study, German scientists have restored the ability to walk in mice that had been paralyzed after a complete spinal cord injury. The team created a “designer” signaling protein and injected it into the animals’ brains, stimulating their nerve cells to regenerate and share the recipe to make the protein.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Paralysis, Spinal, Neuroscience, Ruhr U
Artificial enzyme could slow Parkinson's by targeting protein clumps
Posted by ArielTechGeek 104 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s are characterized by clumps of misfolded proteins accumulating and killing brain cells. Now, researchers at Johns Hopkins have developed an artificial enzyme that may stop these clumps from spreading, providing a new potential treatment for Parkinson’s.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Parkinson's Disease, Neuroscience, Protein, Enzym
Drug reboots protein production to reverse age-related cognitive decline
Posted by ArielTechGeek 140 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists studying the mechanisms behind cellular stress and its effects on aging have found success in reversing cognitive decline in mice using an experimental drug. The findings not only bode well for further study of aging and its effects in human subjects, but sheds light on a growing list of conditions thought to be spurred on by chronic stress of this type.Continue ReadingCategory: Medica
Protein injections into testes could treat male infertility
Posted by ArielTechGeek 180 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Male infertility is a serious issue, often caused by low sperm counts. Now, researchers at Seoul National University have developed a way to deliver nanoparticles loaded with certain proteins directly into the testes. In tests in mice, previously infertile animals were soon able to father pups at a similar rate as unaffected mice.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Fertility, American
