Bioinformaticians have now developed a unique method with which all metabolites in a sample can be taken into account, thus considerably increasing the knowledge gained from examining such molecules.

Researchers have discovered a novel class of compounds that affects the cell's garbage disposal system which degrades proteins and opens a window for understanding a vital cell function as well as for ...

Researchers have shown, in mice, that a new class of compounds they developed can improve several aspects of metabolic syndrome. Such conditions often lead to cardiovascular disease, the leading cause ...

Potential pharmaceuticals are typically screened for toxicity with high-throughput assays that utilize cultured cell lines and simple endpoints like cell death or inhibition of cell proliferation.
