New model links RNA editing glitch to early-stage type 1 diabetes

Hebrew University study proposes a new model suggesting that disrupted RNA editing within pancreatic beta cells might initiate an inflammatory response akin to early-stage type 1 diabetes. This new perspective challenges the long-held belief of viral involvement, offering potential implications for treatments and cures. A recent study by researchers at the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School, […]

How is next-generation protein sequencing democratizing protein sequencing?

What challenges do researchers usually encounter with conventional proteomic methods? The proteomics field is highly complex, spanning initial biological samples to comprehensive analysis. An overarching theme repeatedly emphasized by researchers revolves around the absence of a universal solution for this entire process. Rather, each phase demands meticulous harmonization. Researchers often find themselves at a crossroads. They must […]
