Stowers Proteomics Center devises method for assigning probabilities to human protein interactions
01-24-2008 · EurekAlert!The Stowers Institute's Proteomics Center has published a novel method of using normalized spectral counts derived from a series of affinity purifications analyzed by mass spectrometry to generate a probabilistic measure of the preference of proteins to associate with one another.

03-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
Protein interactions direct cellular functions and their responses to pathogens and are important therapeutic targets. Scientists from the GSF Research Center for Environment and Health have recently developed a method enabling simultaneous visualization of individual proteins and their interactions in living cells. This is achieved by engineering the proteins to constantly emit red or blue fluorescent signals and to produce an additional yellow fluorescent signal upon interaction.

- Cold Spring Harbor scientists devise novel, low-cost method of sifting genome's high-value regions
11-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have developed a new means of extracting and interpreting data from the human genome that is more powerful and more economical than methods currently employed. The new technology, called selective resequencing, promises to be a boon to many kinds of research, including efforts to comb vast stretches of the genome for mutant genes implicated in major diseases such as cancer and schizophrenia.

- New proteomic method to detect inflammation in amniotic fluid
01-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
A score that measures the proteomic profile of amniotic fluid may predict inflammation before delivery. Researchers from Yale University assess whether scores set on protein markers closely associated with inflammation in the amniotic fluid -- the "Mass Restricted" (MR) score -- are associated with the outcome of pregnancy; the presence of infection in the placenta, and severe infection in the newborn baby.

- Protein found to shield pancreatic cancer cells from self-destruction
03-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
An overexpressed protein protects human pancreatic cancer cells from being forced to devour themselves, removing one of the body's natural defenses against out-of-control cell growth, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report in the March issue of Molecular Cancer Research.

06-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute of Mount Sinai Hospital, European Molecular Biology Laboratory, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created a new computational method called NetworKIN. This method uses biological networks to better identify relationships between molecules. In a cover story featured in the June 29, 2007, edition of the journal Cell, the scientists report insights into the regulation of protein networks that will ultimately help to target human disease.

- Certain diseases, birth defects may be linked to failure of protein recycling system
12-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
A group of signaling proteins known as Wnt -- which help build the human body's skin, bone, muscle and other tissues -- depend on a complex delivery and recycling system to ensure their transport to tissue-building cell sites. Failure of this system may be a mechanism of cancer, heart disease or birth defects related to Wnt proteins, according to researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
