It is well-known that proteins are the cornerstone of life and play a key role in all biological processes. Therefore, understanding how they interact with the environment is critical to developing effective treatments and designing the basis for artificial cells. Recently, the Protein Design and Immune Engineering Laboratory (LPDI) of the Institute of Bioengineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), in collaboration with the Institute of Computational Science…

New Breakthrough Developed A Technology that can Detect Hundreds of Proteins in A Single Blood Sample
Recently, in a research report published in the international journal Nature Nanotechnology, scientists from McGill University have developed a new technology that can detect hundreds of proteins in a single sample which is expected to be used as a fast, high-capacity and cost-effective tool for hospitals and research laboratories. Proteins in the blood provide researchers and clinicians with vital information that indicates the health of the body. Meanwhile, these…
Antiviral Proteins Designed by Computer May Help Halt Pandemic
Bill Gates said in a speech at the Munich Security Conference that three threats are closely related to the fate of our human species: nuclear warfare, climate change and the next global pandemic. “If we are going to prepare for the worst, we should build an arsenal.” The factory he mentioned is not referring to any guns or ammunition, but the vaccine, drugs and diagnostics. At present, what troubles us…
Why Human Beings Are Called the Lord of Creation?
Why human beings are the most intelligent animals on the planet? Researchers at the University of Toronto gave an answer to it these days. This owes to a key molecular events. Studies have shown that a small change of PTBP1 protein controls the generation of neurons, helping mammals to evolve larger and more complicated brains. The size and complexity of the brain of vertebrates has significant difference. For example, humans…
β2 microglobulin was found to be related to memory loss
The next time you forget where you have left your keys, you can blame an immune protein called β2 microglobulin (B2M) that builds up in your blood as you age. B2M impairs the formation of new brain cells and contributed to age-related loss–study found in mice. If we block this protein, we might be able to prevent the memory decline or cognitive disorders, according to the researchers. Not only this…
