Structural views of the proteins that regulate the heartbeat may help improve existing treatments for cardiac arrhythmias.

An improved technology enables high-throughput protein identification in imaging mass spectrometry, aiding proteomics research.

New agreement will pursue therapies targeting MCL1 (myeloid cell leukemia 1), which is highly prevalent in many difficult-to-treat cancers.

Vanderbilt investigators have used sophisticated cell biological and structural techniques to “classify” mutations in potassium channels, studies that could lead to personalized treatment of heart rhythm disorders.

Vanderbilt researchers have discovered an unanticipated link between sulfur and iron balance, pointing to a genetic basis for iron-deficiency anemia.

New findings suggest that oxidative stress damages mitochondrial DNA, and they link this damage to a disease state.

Structural details about a protein involved in the repair of damaged DNA provide insight into xeroderma pigmentosum disorders, which are characterized by increased risk for skin cancer.
