Double Duty: Loss Of Protective Heart Failure Protein Causes High Blood Pressure

Scientists at the Center for Translational Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have found that a protein that appears to have protective and perhaps healing effects for failing hearts also plays a similar role in high blood pressure. They found lower-than-normal levels of the protein S100A1 in cells that line blood vessel walls in animals with high blood pressure.

Electronic Handheld Blood Pressure Devices Market Reaching up to $793 Million by 2010

Electronic handheld blood pressure devices are automated blood pressure measuring devices used for measuring blood pressure at regular intervals, without causing inconvenience to the individual's daily routine. Rising healthcare expenditure and rapidly aging population are key factors contributing towards a rise in demand for such devices, particularly in the developed regions of the world. With growing environmental concerns related to the use of mercury-based traditional sphygmomanometers, developed nations have stepped up efforts to replace mercury devices with electronic blood pressure devices.

Study in 7,000 men and women ties obesity, inflammatory proteins to heart failure risk

Heart specialists at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere report what is believed to be the first wide-scale evidence linking severe overweight to prolonged inflammation of heart tissue and the subsequent damage leading to failure of the body’s blood-pumping organ.

Genetic Breakthrough Explains Dangerously High Blood Glucose Levels

Canadian, French, and British researchers have identified a DNA sequence that controls the variability of blood glucose levels in people. This is a potentially significant discovery because high blood glucose levels in otherwise healthy people often are indications of heart disease and higher mortality rates. The results will be in the online version of the journal Science.

IGN has contacted publisher Activision to see if that feature will make its way over to the other platforms, but no confirmation on that yet.

Deconstructing Green Fluorescent Protein

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) has been reassembled from two pieces, a large fragment 214 amino acids in length that is produced recombinantly (GFP 1−10) and a short synthetic peptide corresponding to the 11th stave of the β-barrel that is 16 amino acids long (synthetic GFP 11), following a system developed by Waldo and co-workers (Cabantous, S.; et al. Nat. Biotechnol. 2005, 23, 102−7) as an in vivo probe for protein association and folding. We demonstrate that the reassembled protein has identical absorption and excited-state proton transfer dynamics as a whole protein of the identical sequence. We show that the reassembled protein can be taken apart and the peptide replaced with a different synthetic peptide designed to perturb the chromophore absorption.
