How rare genetic variants could uncover new drug targets
What if extreme levels of common traits have a different genetic basis? New research suggests rare, large-effect variants could help explain the extremes and identify potential drug targets.
ArticleHow AI-driven systems biology will reset the starting line for drug development
AI is making drug discovery faster, but can it make it more successful? Discover why combining AI with systems biology could help researchers tackle the biological complexity behind drug failure.
Article600+ patient-derived cancer models expand the search for drug targets
Hundreds of new patient-derived cancer models could strengthen target validation, identify cancer vulnerabilities and provide more representative systems for preclinical drug discovery.
ArticleWhy researchers are revisiting bisantrene decades after it was abandoned
An oncology drug abandoned decades ago is getting a second look, with new research uncovering a mechanism that could offer an alternative route to targeting MYC, one of cancer’s toughest targets.

NewsRegnase-1 deletion boosts CAR T-cell efficacy against paediatric osteosarcoma
St Jude researchers have demonstrated that deleting the Regnase-1 gene from CAR T cells significantly improves tumour control and prevents metastasis in preclinical models of relapsed osteosarcoma, paving the way for an early-phase clinical trial.
NewsStem cell-grown kidney organoids could help uncover new treatments for AKI
Researchers at Monash University have grown miniature human kidneys from stem cells that could give drug discovery teams a more human-relevant model for investigating acute kidney injury and identifying therapies that promote tissue recovery.
NewsHER3-DXd and olaparib combination boosts lung cancer treatment responses
A new preclinical study finds that combining the antibody-drug conjugate HER3-DXd with PARP inhibitor olaparib significantly improves treatment responses in NSCLC models, including those harbouring EGFR and KRAS mutations, by overwhelming DNA repair capacity and activating innate immune signalling.
NewsFirst-in-class drug targets ‘undruggable’ MYC in blood cancers
A first-in-class experimental drug has demonstrated preclinical activity against treatment-resistant blood cancers by exploiting a newly identified vulnerability between MYC and GSPT1, offering a potential route to one of oncology’s most elusive targets.

Antibody recycling, FcRn and the next generation of biologics
One receptor can protect antibodies from degradation, extend their half-life and become a drug target itself. Explore the science behind FcRn and how researchers measure its function.
Webinar
Oligonucleotide therapeutics safety considerations across drug development
As oligonucleotide therapeutics continue to advance, their safety assessment presents challenges that differ from traditional drug modalities. Discover how nonclinical safety studies, evolving regulatory expectations and real-world case examples can help you navigate these challenges with greater confidence.
Opinion and interviews
The global push to reduce animal testing in drug development
Non-animal methods are already used throughout early drug discovery, yet animal testing continues to dominate regulatory safety assessment. Recent initiatives suggest change is coming, but significant scientific and practical challenges remain.
