The body as a network

A new VR platform enables the display of huge amounts of data. This can be helpful in the study of rare genetic defects, among other things

27-Apr-2021 - Networks offer a powerful way to visualize and analyze complex systems. However, depending on the size and complexity of the network, many visualizations are limited. Protein interactions in the human body constitute such a complex system that can hardly be visualized. Jörg Menche, Adjunct ...

Shedding light on protein interaction networks in a developing organism

28-Jul-2017 - Researchers succeeded for the first time in mapping protein-protein interactions in living developing plant roots.

First complete interactome map of human receptor tyrosine kinases and phosphatases

09-Jan-2017 - In 2011, Igor Stagljar, a professor in the University of Toronto's Donnelly Centre, came across a study that genetically linked two genes in the cell to a hard-to-treat (triple negative) breast cancer. It was not clear how the proteins encoded by these genes worked, but Stagljar had a unique way ...

Professor develops super-resolution microscopy techniques

04-Nov-2016 - For scientists developing life-saving medicines, knowing how cells interact and communicate with one another is an important part of the puzzle. The problem is, being able to see those interactions through a microscope hasn't always been possible. But now, thanks to University of New Mexico ...

New insights into ribosome self-assembly

14-Feb-2014 - Ribosomes, the cellular machines that build proteins, are themselves made up of dozens of proteins and a few looping strands of RNA. A new study, reported in the journal Nature, offers new clues about how the ribosome, the master assembler of proteins, also assembles itself. "The ribosome has ...
