Protein Maintains Cross Talk Between Cells That Control Hair Growth
Science & Tech  (tags: research, science, study, discovery, cell, dermal, follicle, genes, hair, molecular, papilla, protein, stem )

J.
- 676 days ago - newswire.rockefeller.edu
Hair follicles can't grow properly when a type of skin cell called dermal papilla lacks the receptor that binds BMP, a signaling molecule that, when present, instructs stem cells to trigger hair follicles into action and make hair.

Fungus Sheds Light on Development of Human Genders
Science & Tech  (tags: science, genes, fetus, chromosome, fungas, protein )

Burton

Possible Markers for Mental Illness
Science & Tech  (tags: humans, mental illness, dopamine D2 receptor, DRD2, antipsychotic drugs, protein )

Eduardo
- 747 days ago - dentalplans.com
Researchers found the differences in the gene for a molecule called the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2), a protein present on brain cells that are sensitive to the neurotransmitter dopamine. Most antipsychotic drugs work in part by blocking this protein.

Autism Linked to Brain Protein
Science & Tech  (tags: humans, brain, protein, brain development, synapses, autism )

Eduardo

Protein Found That May Provide Relief From Neuropathic Pain
Science & Tech  (tags: protein, LRP1, neuropathic pain, glial cells, neurons, peripheral nervous system )

Eduardo
- 748 days ago - huliq.com
A protein called LRP1 may help to ease neuropathic pain by blocking the response of glial cells that support and protect sensory neurons in the peripheral nervous system. Neuropathic pain does not respond well to conventional pain-relieving drugs.

Eduardo
- 756 days ago - dailymail.co.uk
A mouse gene called Par-4, which produces the protein. U.S. researchers genetically engineered a group of mice to have higher levels of the protein than normal. These mice were immune to many forms of cancer, such as cancer of the liver and prostate.

A Novel Way Found to Prevent Protein Plaques Implicated in Alzheimer's
Science & Tech  (tags: Alzheimer disease, mice, amyloid beta, protein, aggregates, plaques, neurons, cystatin C, research )

Eduardo
- 763 days ago - thehindu.com
A protein called amyloid beta aggregates into toxic plaques in the brain, killing neurons. The deadly transformation of amyloid beta into plaques can be prevented through an interaction between amyloid beta and another protein called cystatin C.

Eduardo
- 765 days ago - sciencedaily.com
Mice genetically engineered to both overproduce the protein neuroglobin and to develop Alzheimer's disease (AD) had a much milder form of the disease when compared to mice engineered to have AD alone.
