Parkinson's Disease: Can Metabolomics Predict and Explain Its Onset?
The uncertain pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) is suspected to predate symptom onset. Our study delves into the metabolic associations of PD before and after its onset to provide additional insights into its multifaceted aetiology.
Contributions of core, mantle and climatological processes to Earth’s polar motion
In a new study published in Nature Geoscience, a team of researchers have uncovered the causes of Earth's spin axis motion.
NCATS Tissue Chips in Space-The UW Kidney Chip Experiences
In this “Behind the Papers” post we describe the challenges faced to modify the kidney MPS perfusion system from a terrestrial lab to the ISS-NL for our two successful launches in 2019 (CRS-17) and 2022 (CRS-22) as well as the experimental results from CRS-17.
Structural and functional insights underlying recognition of histidine phosphotransfer protein in fungal phosphorelay systems
Phosphorelay systems found in fungi contain several hybrid histidine kinases that transfer phosphoryl groups to the same His-phosphotransferase. This many-to-one mechanism is promoted through a low affinity for interaction and a transient phosphorylation.
