The article focuses on partnership between Novartis and the University of California, Berkeley for expanding the repertoire of human proteins. Topics discussed include launch of the Novartis-Berkeley Center for Proteomics & Chemistry Technologies, plans of center's chemists to design dual-function drugs, and recruiting cellular machinery that tags and ships the protein off to the proteasome.

The article offers information on mapping of human proteins across the cell wherein researchers developed a image-based subcellular map, Cell Atlas, to define protein-protein interaction networks.

The article focuses on research published in the journal "ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering" in 2015 in which researcher Neil Hamer Davies and colleagues, tested protein Sonic hedgehog with heparin and a synthetic polycation and polyethylene glycol gel, in rats for reduced heart attack.

The article discusses the study done which reveals the assembled draft maps of human proteome, complete catalog of proteins encoded by the human genome, by using conventional analytical methods. Topics discussed include research on the G-Protein coupled receptors for the smell and taste perception, small number of organ specific proteome, and considering some proteins as evolutionary remnants.

The article informs that Dennis E. Discher, professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and colleagues developed an artificial peptide modeled on a human protein CD47 which will prevent the body from immune attack.

An abstract of the article "Separation of Heat-Degraded Recombinant Human EPO Protein," by Phu Duong is presented.
