Protein digestion grows up to assist in the study of the ubiquitinome
The Proteomics Laboratory CSIC/UAB has developed a method for large-scale protein digestion (LFASP) and demonstrated the applicability of this method to the study of the ubiquitinome. LFASP is currently being used to investigate ubiquitinome...
Evolutionary history of the family of H1.1-H1.5 histones of mammals
The Gene Expression and Eukaryotic Cell Regulation Research Group of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department of Biosciences Faculty (UAB), have proposed a new model for the molecular evolution of a part of the H1 multigenic family...
Cellular Response to Protein Misfolding
Protein misfolding and aggregation is associated with numerous degenerative human disorders such as type-II-diabetes or Alzheimer’s disease. In previous research we identifieda threshold abovewhich a cell began to actively accumulate protein aggregates. The data obtained in this new...
Mental Health: a global challenge in the 21st century
World Mental Health Day is held annually on the 10th of October, to raise awareness and inform on mental health issues and win support. At the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, the group of researchers that make up the CORE-Mental Health network are...
New Device for Cytochrome c Detection
In recent years many devices have been developed to detect very small concentrations of elements, compounds or substances, such as biosensors, which are based on biological recognition systems. The authors of this study have developed a particular type of biosensor, that uses aptamers, for...
NEO: Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases
The Institute of Neurosciences of the UAB investigates several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Since its creation, the institute has made important contributions to basic and clinical research,...
Identification of a Molecule which Would Facilitate the Action of the Antifungal Drugs
Due to the similarity of certain proteins from pathogenic fungi and human proteins, current antifungals are usually directed to characteristics that are present in the pathogen but absent in humans. A study has...
Learning about Alzheimer's early stages
UAB researchers have participated in a research published in the journal Neuron, that has studied how changes in the neurons binding process, called synapses, affect learning and memory in the Alzheimer's disease early stages of development. This research will allow a better...
