Study shows polymersome can effectively deliver PARP1 siRNA to treat breast cancer

Small interfering RNAs, or siRNAs, have the potential to cure tumors by targeting knocking down oncogenes that drive tumor development while avoiding the damage associated with chemotherapy.

Scientists get a clearer and more accurate image of proteins

Proteins are among the most significant and diverse biomolecules found in living organisms. These strings of amino acids, which take on complex 3-dimensional structures, are required for tissue growth and maintenance, the activation of thousands of biochemical events, and the immune system’s defense against invaders.

Study shows how G protein-coupled receptors signal helps drug development

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), membrane proteins that are the target of one-third of approved drugs, are being studied by scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Columbia University/New York State Psychiatric Institute.

Researchers discover protein that enhances muscle mass

Humans are not just pumping iron in the gym, or not just oxygenating muscle cells, which keeps those muscles healthy, powerful, and developing—a process known as hypertrophy—that is defined as an increase in muscle mass, caused by an increase in muscle cell size.
