Incyte's experimental skin disease drug met the main goal of two separate late-stage trials, but data showed that it was not as effective as in its prior studies, sending the drugmaker's shares down ...

Your body produces the enzyme creatine kinase (CK) or creatine phosphokinase to keep your muscles functioning properly. Healthcare providers use the CK test to check levels of this protein in your ...

Scientists from the University of Auckland have discovered that a cancer drug called alpelisib may help extend lifespan—at ...

Cancer cells have an insatiable appetite for energy as they multiply more rapidly than normal cells. Greedy cancer cells ...

Phosphorylation can either activate a protein (orange) or inactivate it (green). Kinase is an enzyme that phosphorylates proteins. Phosphatase is an enzyme that dephosphorylates proteins ...

Rohini Subrahmanyam is a biologist-turned-science-writer with a background in neuroscience and developmental biology. She has written for Scientific American, Harvard Gazette, Live Science, among ...

Cardiac enzymes ― also known as cardiac biomarkers ― include myoglobin, troponin and creatine kinase. Historically, lactate dehydrogenase, or LDH, was also used but is non-specific.

Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) was initially described as a key enzyme involved in glycogen metabolism, but is now known to regulate a diverse array of cell functions. The study of the ...

Inhibiting the AURKB enzyme significantly improves multiple measures of blood flow in rats with pulmonary arterial ...

End-healing entails hydrolysis of the 2’,3’-cyclic phosphate (by a phosphoesterase enzyme) to form a 3’-OH and phosphorylation of the 5’-OH (by a polynucleotide kinase enzyme) to form a 5’-PO 4. Phage ...

Woolsey Pharmaceuticals has secured additional funds to continue advancing its ROCK inhibitor Bravyl (oral fasudil) for the ...

Cancer cells have an insatiable appetite for energy as they multiply more rapidly than normal cells. Greedy cancer cells hijack various cellular functions to find and exploit energy and other ...
