...April 3 issue of Cell. “The novelty of our research is that it links acetylation to degradation, which hasn’t been shown before,” said Dimitri Krainc, an associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and practitioner at Massachusetts General Hospital, who was involved in the research. Krainc said acetylation of the Huntingtin protein could be made more efficient through medication, leading to quicker degradation of the mutant protein, and potentially relief from the disease. Common symptoms of Huntington’s—an inherited disease affecting about 30,000 people...
...from 1984 to 1988, referencing the expectation that the SCR might foster lasting faculty-student relationships.

When cancerous cells form a tumor and begin to grow uncontrollably, they need to induce the formation of new blood vessels to bring them oxygen and nutrients—a process known as angiogenesis. A team of researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital has discovered that the main effects of an angiogenesis inhibitor in treating glioblastoma, a severe kind of brain tumor, stem from the reduction of brain swelling, rather than any effect on tumor growth. In these tumors, blood vessels can be leaky, which causes swelling in the brain known as edema. This, in turn, can cause drowsiness, loss...
