Scientists are always looking for better ways to make medicines last longer and work better. One big challenge is keeping proteins, like those in some drugs, stable when they are dried out. Trehalose is a sugar that is often used to help protect these proteins. But there's a problem: trehalose can change form when it gets hot or humid, which can mess up the proteins ...

Two new drugs, lecanemab and donanemab, have hit the market. They are designed to tackle Alzheimer's disease. They work by targeting and removing beta-amyloid protein from the brain. This protein is a key player in the development of Alzheimer's. The drugs have shown some promising results in clinical trials. They improved scores on cognitive and functional test...

Collagens are everywhere, from mammals to marine life like jellyfish. And we're talking about jellyfish collagen here, which is becoming quite popular due to its skin healing and immune boosting benefits. Scientists wanted to create tools to detect this special collagen, so they made four monoclonal antibodies, MCOL1, 2, 3, and 4, by giving mice a dose of moon jellyf...

Imagine this: you’re running downhill, muscles working hard, and you wonder if this rigorous exercise could help boost proteins that fight cancer. That’s exactly what scientists set out to test. They looked at a protein called C1q, which helps activate the body’s immune response against cancer cells. The idea was that intense exercise could increase C1q in the blood,...
