Engaging the core could be regulating blood flow in the brain | Penn State University (opens the original)
Read excerpt
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Engaging core muscles — through movement, exercise or even coughing — may be a key regulator of blood flow in the brain. When a body moves, the contraction of abdominal muscles increase pressure in blood vessels connected to the brain through the spinal column. A new study by researchers at Penn State shows that the increased pressure creates ultrafast constrictions of major veins in the brain, momentarily increasing blood flow. Understanding how the regulation of blood fl
Cancer-linked protein binds to chromosome in unexpected way, study finds | Penn State University (opens the original)
Read excerpt
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A new 3D-structure of a cancer-linked protein bound to its cellular partner reveals details of how the protein binds to chromosomes and could offer insights for future disease treatments. The protein — BRD4 — plays a critical role in how cells read, copy and repair DNA and helps determine how different kinds of cells are made; it has been linked to many types of cancers and is considered a promising target for future therapies. The study, led by scientists at Penn State, a
Cellular maintenance crew may miss as much as half of certain misfolded proteins | Penn State University (opens the original)
Read excerpt
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — As proteins are made in a cell, they are folded into the 3D structure that allows them to work, but sometimes this process can go wrong. When it does, the misfolded proteins lose some or all of their function and usually get tagged by the cell’s quality assurance and maintenance crews, which try to repair the proteins or, if they can’t, strip them to recycle their parts. A new study led by scientists at Penn State revealed that proteins containing a certain type of structu
Creating chemical reactions that run on oxygen, produce only water as waste | Penn State University (opens the original)
Read excerpt
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Oxygen provides the driving force for many vital chemical reactions. Two well-known examples include respiration, the process that allows living things to break down food to release its energy, and combustion, reactions that produce heat and light. But oxygen has an unusual electronic configuration that tends to slow reactions with organic matter, so reactions often need help to get started. In nature, specialized proteins called enzymes can activate oxygen on demand by fi
How does a deadly chicken virus escape vaccines designed to slow it? | Penn State University (opens the original)
Read excerpt
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A highly contagious herpes virus causes Marek’s disease, a deadly illness that mainly infects chickens. While it does not make people sick, the virus causes tumors and paralysis in chickens and, if unchecked, can spread rapidly through entire flocks. Beginning in the 1970s, widespread vaccination for the virus greatly reduced its impact on the poultry industry, but over the years, some strains of the virus have increased in virulence, causing more severe disease and evolvi
