A process as intricate as brain development requires precisely controlled expression of crucial genes, but it’s the different flavors of a protein, or isoforms, that the genes encode that do the heavy ...

Streicher and his team also tested the drug combination in a chronic pain model in mice. Three weeks after injection of an HIV protein, which induces peripheral neuropathy, the team treated the mice ...

This is believed to enhance biological complexity by allowing genes to produce different versions of proteins, or protein isoforms, for many different uses. New research from the University of ...

“The field has been hampered by antibodies that recognize the wrong (or multiple) protein isoforms and antibodies that don’t work well in particular applications,” says Andrew ...
