Alan Cowman’s group from WEHI may have found a weakness in the armour of the malaria parasite – by harnessing P. falciparum’s key defence strategy, they plan to turn it against itself.

The Shadoo protein has generated much interest over the last five years as it is one of only three known members of the prion protein family.

In an elegant experiment published earlier this year, Ryszard Maleszka and his team at ANU showed that silencing a gene for DNA methylation in honey bees directly mimicked the effect of royal jelly on whether larvae go on to become queens or workers.

A symposium at ComBio on wound healing promises to take audiences on a journey from basic cell biology right through to 3D skin scaffolds as therapies.

An enzyme called TCPTP keeps a tight rein on damaged DNA

Agilent Technologies is showing off one of its new Q-TOF mass spectrometers at the AOHUPO/PRICPS conference in Cairns this week.

Salvador, Warts, Hippo and Yorkie are an eclectically named group of genes that form the core components of a signalling pathway in Drosophila that regulates control of organ size and may have some important parallels with human cancer.

Who would have thought that Chinese vegies, phosphopeptides and stressed mitochondria might advance the treatment of type 2 diabetes?

US researchers studying a protein involved in T cell development find it promotes breast cancer growth and spread.

Frances Shannon tells the Lorne protein conference about the role of architectural proteins and how the packaging of DNA in the cell nucleus controls immune-related gene expression.

One of the world's leading structural biologists, Helen Saibil, is bringing her knowledge -- and some spectacular images -- of molecular chaperones to the Lorne Protein conference.
