Pharmacological promotion of inclusion formation: A therapeutic approach for Huntington’s and Parkinson’s diseases
5.4.2006 | Press monitoring
Misfolded proteins accumulate in many neurodegenerative diseases, including huntingtin in Huntington’s disease and -synuclein in Parkinson’s disease.
Mechanism of Akt1 inhibition of breast cancer cell invasion reveals a protumorigenic role for TSC2
5.4.2006 | Press monitoring
Akt1 is frequently up-regulated in human tumors and has been shown to accelerate cell proliferation and to suppress programmed cell death; consequently, inhibition of the activity of Akt1 has been seen as an attractive target for therapeutic intervention.
Structures of eukaryotic ribonucleotide reductase I provide insights into dNTP regulation
5.4.2006 | Press monitoring
Ribonucleotide reductase catalyzes a crucial step in de novo DNA synthesis and is allosterically controlled by relative levels of dNTPs to maintain a balanced pool of deoxynucleoside triphosphates in the cell. In eukaryotes, the enzyme comprises a heterooligomer of 2 and 2 subunits.
