Scientists have revealed new findings about the neural circuit involved in the reward stimulus, which plays a major role in drug dependence and psychological disorders.
A new discovery could lead to the development of a drug for untreatable strains of TB, which can target uptake of the very amino acid that enables the bacteria to spread within the body.
A new mechanism has been reported for detecting foreign material during early immune responses which may help detect elusive cancers.
Isolated components found in the Saussurea controversa plant have antimicrobial and regenerative properties which could lead to a treatment for bone diseases.
A study has shown that unintended mutations from gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9 are rare in zebrafish, providing reassurance that this technology is a valid tool with great promise for the treatment of genetic disorders.
Produced by Group A Streptococcus, researchers have discovered the S protein, which binds to the red blood cell membrane to avoid being destroyed by immune cells and could be a target for anti-virulence drugs.
Researchers have identified the protein Annexin A6 as a potential therapeutical target against diseases that are caused by the accumulation of cholesterol and other lipids in endosomes.
A novel approach to better understand a basic defence mechanism of the immune system has been developed using the ISG15 protein which could lead to novel antimicrobial drugs.
A new study has demonstrated that NLRP3 inflammasome directly drives tau pathology in neurodegenerative diseases and Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers have found that PGE2, a signalling molecule involved in inflammation, promotes colorectal cancer progression through a microRNA and targeting that microRNA could have therapeutic potential.
Researchers have found that soft tissue sarcoma cells stop a key metabolic process which allows them to spread and restarting that process could leave these cancers vulnerable treatments.
Scientists have discovered that a plant-based compound called halofuginone activates a pathway that results in better antibodies and could improve the effectiveness of vaccines.
Scientists have developed a new method that accelerates the design and engineering of potential medicines and vaccines using glycosylation.
A library of products derived from more than ten thousand fungi has been set up which could lead to the discovery of new drugs.
