Protein folding is a fundamental function in the mundane operations of a cell’s daily life. Yet, when this task goes wrong, it becomes readily apparent how vital of a role 3D structure plays for the vast majority of protein molecules. In the past, scientists concluded that the aberrantly assembled proteins were the result of certain metabolic disorders, but new evidence from investigators at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) suggests that the cell’s response to unfolded or misfolded proteins could be a cause, rather than a consequence, of metabolic disorders . ❖ Medicilon’s Endocrine & Metabolic Disease Models Services In the field of metabolic diseases, we are proud of our portfolio of stable and effective animal models, especially those for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Though popular recently, they still lack effective drug treatment. Findings from the new study were published recently in ...
