Cytokine storms: a major killer in patients with severe COVID-19 infection
Professor Saad Shakir explains why cytokine storms occur in COVID-19 patients and suggests potential therapies for the symptoms of the coronavirus.
Natural peptides versus COVID-19
Peptides could serve as a potential platform for development of novel drugs for the treatment of the COVID-19 coronavirus.
Histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) regulates pathological response of inflammatory monocytes: a potential target of adjuvant therapies for COVID-19 infection
Histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) plays a key role in the regulation of inflammatory response in monocytes so could be a target for COVID-19, argue Dr Rosa Maria Tordera and Maria Cortes.
Developing immunotherapies for hard-to-treat cancers
Exploring how therapies with multi-faceted approaches could improve options for treatment-refractory cancers, like pancreatic and triple-negative breast cancer.
High-throughput screening for antibody-based drugs
A collaboration between academia and industry has produced an assay and new screening technique which utilises directed evolution for the discovery of antibody-based drugs.
The coronavirus as a personalised enemy of mankind
How has evolution led us to the point where humans are an ideal host for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the COVID-19 coronavirus?
Mesenchymal stem cells secretome as a prospective therapeutic option for COVID-19 patients
Researchers propose using mesenchymal stem cells to counter the pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with COVID-19 coronavirus symptoms.

A new report has revealed the vaccine R&D efforts of 15 of the leading pharmaceutical companies to combat the COVID-19 coronavirus.
Predicting which diabetes treatments will reach clinical trials
Researchers at MIT have developed a mathematical model that can calculate whether diabetes treatments in pre-clinical trials will be successful in humans.
How are seasonal influenza vaccines developing?
With the global ageing population at risk of death from influenza, what is pharma doing to develop more effective vaccines to combat the virus?
Host pathways in coronavirus replication and COVID-19 pre-clinical drug target identification using proteomic and chemoinformatic analysis
The identification of host dependency factors mediating virus infection may provide key insights into effective molecular targets for developing broadly acting antiviral therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2 and other deadly coronavirus strains. Here, Joseph Steward highlights key findings of recent research.
The latest developments in diabetes drug discovery
Several new advances have been made in the field of drug discovery for diabetes – here, three of the most recent have been rounded up.
How labs become AI ready with advanced informatics infrastructures
To reach the full potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the pharma industry, it is essential that companies harmonise their data to remove the need for unnecessary human intervention. This article outlines how companies are working towards digital maturation and the obstacles they need to overcome to ensure the value…
