High-throughput screening is a common method of identifying lead compounds for drug development. The most common targets are enzymes – catalytic proteins that perform chemical reactions in the cell. In this article, Matthew Lloyd discusses the opportunities and challenges associated with this approach.
Exploring large databases and selecting compounds of interest can be extremely time-consuming for researchers. Here, Sacha Javor, Horst Flotow and Jingwen Shi discuss a novel chemoinformatics approach for drug discovery.
The heterogeneous pathogenesis of metabolic fatty liver diseases presents researchers with numerous challenges when trying to develop a treatment. This article explores the spectrum of these diseases and presents a novel in vitro platform for screening drug candidates.
The oncology market is saturated with new drugs that target the immune system, however, these only target part of the problem caused by cancer’s ability to hide from the immune system. Miguel Ferreira discusses why emerging three-drug combinations are poised to redefine the immuno-oncology treatment paradigm in advanced malignancies with…
Neoantigens have gained much interest in recent years, mainly due to their ability to elicit a strong, specific immune response. Nikki Withers spoke to two immunology experts to explore the progress being made and assess what remains challenging for cancer investigators working on these transformational therapies.
Researchers in the US describe how they utilised previously published scientific literature to guide the design of their potential COVID-19 vaccine.
Despite hundreds of off-the-shelf treatments, cancer remains the second leading cause of death globally.
T cell-based therapies have shown promise as new treatment options for various cancers.
Our Ability to image cells has come a long way since the pioneering days of Galileo Galilei and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek.
Combine titer and glycan screening during clone selection and cell culture optimisation to make more informed choices sooner, significantly reducing the development time for therapeutic antibodies.
CRISPR screening utilises the power and precision of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to reveal and validate novel drug targets or to study the underlying causes of disease.
Effective drug discovery and development greatly relies on the availability of predictive pre-clinical models.
A new suggestion has highlighted that the available pharmacologically-established existing medicines should be used to combat COVID-19.
In a time when rapid screening and fast-paced drug development are necessary for fighting illness and disease, having a robust supply of high-quality, fit-for-purpose consumables is critical.
The stem cells in-depth focus includes articles on using computational approaches to expand the applications of stem cell therapies and how organoids could be used to speed up the drug discovery process with a focus on retinal disease.
