Development of novel anticancer and cardioprotective agents that target prohibitins and the translation initiation factor eIF4a
The Shank family of proteins functions as a molecular scaffold in the neuronal post-synaptic density, enabling numerous protein-protein interactions. Shanks are large multi-domain molecules, and one of the conserved domains is an SH3 domain. Using high-resolution X-ray crystallography, we show that the SH3 domain in the Shank family has lost its canonical ligand-binding site.
The research group around Karl Johan Tronstad at the Department of Biomedicine has been granted 9.5 million to investigate the causes of chronic fatigue syndrome, or myalgic encephalopathy CFS/ME.

Interesting meeting in Molecular Imaging in Cologne, Germany, 05-07.04.2017
The molecular processes of myelin maturation are to a large extent still unknown. A coordinated interplay between regulatory and functional molecules must take place for correct timing of myelin membrane apposition and compaction, such that cytoplasmic channels are also formed in a correct way.
PhD-candidate Oscar Aubi Catevilla will defend his thesis: 鈥淒iscovery of small-molecule activity modulators of bacterial and human phenylalanine hydroxylase鈥
