NIH-funded research (9)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
How copper-binding proteins control muscle gene expression
Copper-binding proteins help turn on genes needed for muscle growth and repair, and this project looks at how they coordinate this process in muscle cells.
-
Alzheimer's patient stem cells reveal which forms of tau and amyloid‑beta are toxic
This project uses brain‑like tissue made from Alzheimer's patients' stem cells to find which forms of amyloid‑beta and tau damage different brain cells.
-
Understanding how bacteria control copper levels to fight antibiotic resistance
This study looks at how a type of bacteria called Bacillus subtilis handles copper in its environment, which is important for its survival, and it aims to understand how these bacteria can adapt to stress, with the hope that this knowledge could help us find new ways to fight antibiotic resistance.
-
Understanding toxic features of proteins involved in Alzheimer's disease using patient-derived stem cells
This study is looking at how certain proteins related to Alzheimer's disease behave in brain-like models made from stem cells of people with the condition, so researchers can better understand how they harm brain cells and potentially find new ways to help.
-
Understanding how copper-binding factors influence muscle gene expression
This study is looking at how certain proteins that bind to copper can help muscle cells grow and develop, which could lead to better understanding and treatments for muscle-related diseases that involve copper.
-
Investigating how bacteria break down protective biofilms to disperse.
This study is looking at how a specific bacteria, Vibrio cholerae, creates protective layers that help it survive against antibiotics, and by understanding how these layers break apart, we hope to find better ways to treat infections for patients dealing with antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
-
Exploring new ways to improve aminoglycoside antibiotics for treating bacterial infections
This study is looking at how to make certain antibiotics work better against tough infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, like E. coli, by changing their design to target a specific enzyme, which could lead to safer and more effective treatments for patients.
-
Understanding how proteins communicate through allosteric signals
This study is looking at how proteins behave differently when they interact with other molecules or when they have certain changes, which is important for things like metabolism and how genes work, and it hopes to help improve drug design and our understanding of diseases caused by protein issues.
-
Creating new drugs that target specific protein functions in cancer treatment
This study is exploring new types of cancer drugs that work by changing how proteins behave, with the goal of creating treatments that are more precise and effective for patients.
