Subject: The human proteome, laser therapy for teeth, and structure of a key brain receptor
To: iammejtm@gmail.com
Researchers completed a draft map of the human proteome—the set of all proteins in the human body. The map will help advance studies of human health and disease. A small dose of laser light activated stem cells in rat molars to generate dentin, a major component of teeth. The finding may lead to new approaches to tooth repair. Scientists determined the structure of the NMDA receptor, an ion channel involved in many brain-related illnesses. The finding may aid in the development of future therapies.
