Inflammatory protein marks heart disease
Heart disease has been linked with inflammation. Because signaling related to the protein biomarker interleukin-6 receptor (IL6R) can lead to inflammation, a team of researchers from the IL6R Genetics Consortium Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration looked at a genetic variant that affects this pathway to see if it was behind some aspects of the disease and could therefore also be a target for treatment and prevention.
Two computational biology standouts honored
A pioneer and an up-and-comer in the field of computational biology have garnered awards from the International Society of Computational Biology. The first award, for a senior scientist in the field,
