Each microbe makes unique molecules, or metabolites, and studying them is crucial for understanding the microbiome’s role in health and disease. But with so many microbes and metabolites floating around — literally trillions — how can you tell...

Identification of new rare genetic mutation provides answers for families
by University of Otago Figure 1. H4 variants identified in the cohort. (A) Highly recurrent variants were found in six different H4 genes (H4C3, H4C4, H4C5, H4C6, H4C9, and H4C11), which all encode an identical protein. Aggregate prevalence of disease-causing amino acid changes is also shown. The N-terminal methionine is cleaved from histone H4, and therefore...

Proteasome inhibitors, the therapeutic backbone of current treatments, are very effective in treating newly diagnosed cancers but resistance or intolerance to these molecules inevitably develop, leading to relapses. While studying a neglected tropical disease,...
