Disordered collagen may help explain hip fractures beyond bone density, X-rays reveal

Fractures of the femoral neck are not simply due to insufficient bone density. Also significant is their nanostructure—the orientation of the collagen fibers that make up bones, according to research conducted by scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI using a new X-ray tec

Inhibiting protein to treat myeloproliferative neoplasms shows preclinical promise

Inhibiting menin, a protein that supports leukemia growth and is already targeted to treat some forms of leukemia, also holds promise for treating myeloproliferative neoplasms. A new study from scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital showed that inhibiting menin signi

'Double-donut' structure of SPOP protein reveals mechanism of unexplained cancer mutations

Mutations to the protein SPOP are widespread in cancer, yet many remain poorly understood. To address this gap, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists obtained structures of SPOP in both the presence and absence of these mutations. Their work captured the fine balance b
