Scientists Finally “See” Key Protein That Controls Inflammation

By Megan Burgasse – SciTechDaily

For the first time, two important protein structures in the human body are being visualized, thanks in part to cutting-edge technology at the University of Cincinnati’s Center for Advanced Structural Biology. This breakthrough could lead to the development of more effective therapeutics.

The research, conducted by a team of structural biologists at UC, was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

This is the first publication from the Seegar Lab at UC. Tom Seegar, PhD, Ohio Eminent Scholar and assistant professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences in the College of Medicine, is the corresponding author.
