AstraZeneca vaccine effective against UK variant: Oxford University

Britain’s Oxford University said on Friday its researchers behind the joint AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine had found it to be effective against the UK virus variant now dominant across the country. The university, which developed the jab with the British-Swedish pharmaceutical firm, said an ongoing assessment of its effectiveness showed that it has “similar efficacy” to other coronavirus strains. “Data from […]

Mouse study suggests genetic contribution to anxiety is partially mediated by gut microbiome

The prevalence of anxiety disorders, already the most common mental illness in many countries, including the U.S., has surged during the novel coronavirus pandemic. A study led by researchers in Berkeley Lab’s Biosciences Area provides evidence that taking care of our gut microbiome may help mitigate some of that anxiety. The team used a genetically heterogeneous lineage of mice known […]

Top-Down Approach in Proteomics

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, allowing for greater understanding of final gene products. Credit: xrender/Shutterstock.com Proteoform is the term that defines all the molecular forms of a protein product occurring from a single gene. This description of variations in the same protein highlights the need for methods that analyze intact proteins. The top-down approach to proteomics provides the […]

Researchers describe molecular mechanism involved in Huntington’s neurodegeneration

Protein alteration in the family of lamins causes several diseases, known as laminopathies, such as progeria or precocious aging. A study in which UB researchers have taken part states that alterations in the levels of one of these proteins, lamin B1, contribute to the degeneration of different brain neuronal populations in Huntington’s disease. Caused by a mutation in the huntingtin […]
