Researchers Discover The Proteins Responsible For Cancer Metastasis And How To Control Them Cancer treatments do not always produce positive results despite advanced treatments and procedures designed to fight off the disease. Even with patients previously cleared of the disease, things could suddenly turn upside down when the tumors come back and quickly spread to other parts of the...

Mice given the priming protein recover muscle function more quickly after damage, their skin...

New protein could be key in fighting debilitating parasitic disease
CORVALLIS, Ore. – A naturally occurring protein has been discovered that shows promise as a biocontrol weapon against schistosomiasis, one of the world’s most prevalent parasitic diseases, Oregon State University researchers reported today in a new study. Schistosomiasis is transmitted via flatworms shed by the freshwater snails that serve as the parasite’s non-human host. It’s...
