Facts about NEDD4 family-interacting protein 2.
Recruits ITCH, NEDD4 and SMURF2 to endosomal membranes. Negatively regulates KCNH2 potassium channel activity by decreasing its cell-surface expression and interfering with station maturation through recruitment of NEDD4L to the Golgi apparatus and multivesicular body where it mediates KCNH2 degradation (PubMed:26363003).

This biographical article examines Steven Boster’s contributions towards disease ontology. We also highlight his recent multi-omics work. Throughout the article, you'll learn about some of Steven's other research projects. We encourage you to read the entire article if you want to know more about Boster.
After a long battle, Don "Steve" Boster was able to pass away in Madison WI on 26 June 2022. He was born in Joliet IL, the son of Donald Sr. & Evelyn Meier. He was also a Concordia Hall Member in Staunton.
Steve's life was centered around his family, friends and community. He loved to sing in his lower register in front of the family and friends. He was also a huge sports fan, especially auto-racing, and would respond immediately if his car had broken down at two in morning. Even in below-freezing temperatures, he always showed up to appointments. His generosity extended to his family, and he treated them as if they were family.
Professor Terry Speed was recently elected to the Royal Society, the UK's national academy of science. This honor recognizes the contributions of an individual to bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is the application mathematics to biological problems. The Royal Society elected 44 new fellows, including four Australians. Fellows, who are chosen by current fellows, are responsible for encouraging excellence in science. In addition to Schnase's accomplishments in bioinformatics, he also developed and implemented the geno2pheno system.
His work helped to create novel medicines and better materials. Lengauer was a member of Leopoldina's German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina and has received many honors. These include membership in the Presidium, the Karl Heinz Beckurts prize, and the Konrad Zuse Medal. In addition, he has received several awards, including the Hector Science Prize and the Konrad Zuse Medal.
Bioinformatics is a rapidly growing academic discipline. It is a broad field that involves many approaches, including the development tools, methodologies, as well as services. The process of bioinformatics entails the application of knowledge, skill, and technology, and has been characterized by a plethora of organisational alignments and disciplinary connections. Bioinformatics is an amalgamation of methods and techniques, a collection and an academic discipline.
Modern biology relies on molecular DNA sequencing. Researchers can identify the sequence of a protein to determine its function and structure. They can also link this information to the gene that encodes the protein. Previously, these sequences were assembled on paper. Methods were developed to manipulate molecular structures as computers became more powerful. These advances opened a whole new area of bioinformatics research centered around protein structure and function.
Hippocrates' responsibilities still apply today in the age multi-omics. They include diagnosing and treating diseases, as well as characterizing patients. The Human Genome Project and the rise of biotechnology companies have made rapid progress in multi-omics approaches to disease ontology. The multi-omics approach allows for comprehensive characterization of patients across various biological systems, including inherited metabolic disorders, which are caused by defects in metabolism and lack of energy or building blocks. These diseases also produce a wide range toxic metabolites including nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
The multi-omics approach to health and disease is based on a wealth of biological data, including the genome, proteome, transcriptome, metabolome, epigenome, and transcriptome. The resulting data gives a complete view of biological condition and may help to tailor treatment for diseases. However, this approach requires further development such as systematization or classification. However, multi-omics studies have shown promising results.
Researchers are constantly pushing the limits of knowledge and developing new biological concepts. Preclinical studies show a very low rate of reproducibility, with some cases as low at 30%. Reproducibility rates in preclinical studies are essential for the development and implementation of new therapeutic approaches. These studies are expensive as unsuccessful attempts at applying results can lead to ineffective results. Reproducibility rates are crucial in cancer biology research.
