Whole blood derived from six adult donors who were inoculated with BCG in their childhood was cultured with MDP1 alone, MDP1 in combination with G9.1, or in combination with the negative form of ...

Protein AMPylation represents a specialised post‐translational modification (PTM) in which an adenosine monophosphate (AMP) moiety is covalently attached to specific amino acid residues on target ...

Tuberculosis is still one of the deadliest infectious diseases, causing over one million deaths each year worldwide. Additionally, about one-fourth of the world's population carries Mycobacterium ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease. The method, called DeepMVP and ...

Lactylation, a recently identified post-translational modification, has emerged as important for immune regulation, tissue repair, cancer cell metabolism, and now, potentially, Alzheimer’s disease. In ...

There is no known cure for Huntington's disease. A genetic mutation creates harmful proteins that accumulate and cause the disease's typical symptoms. A team from the Department of Human Genetics at ...

LA JOLLA, CA—Imagine riding a bike. Now imagine riding a bike with an enormous beach ball stuck on your handlebars. That "modification" might change your experience quite a bit. In our cells, ...

Making proteins for research or therapies often starts with cell-line development. In many applications, genetic engineering is used to optimize a cell line for producing high levels of the intended ...
