Researchers have produced a capillary model which allows investigation of the dynamics of blood flow obstruction in real scale and could be used to test new therapies for P. falciparum malaria.
A study has shown that fruit fly larvae lacking a certain region of the α-synuclein protein did not exhibit Parkinson’s symptoms, indicating a potential target.
Researchers investigating childhood leukaemia have discovered that increasing MLL gene expression in iPSCs drives hematopoietic stem cell production, so could be the target of new therapies.
A new study shows that the VISTA molecule stops the immune system responding to self-antigens, including those presented by cancer cells, so an anti-VISTA antibody could be a possible therapy.
A new study in mice has suggested that cannabinoids can relieve pain caused by endometriosis and paves the way for further clinical research.
A study has shown that long non-coding RNA called DIRC3 can block melanoma growth and could be used to identify new targets for skin cancer therapies.
A new experimental drug was shown by researchers to restore natural brain rhythms in mouse models of Alzheimer’s and promote learning and memory.
Researchers have revealed that astrocytes contribute to reward signalling in the brains of mice, so could be a novel target to treat drug addiction.
A study suggests there may be common genetic pathways between alcohol use disorder and other addictions, so GWAS identification of affected genes could provide the targets for new therapies.
A possible new avenue for treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) has opened up after US scientists pinpoint how the cancer spreads using excessive amounts of vitamin B6.
Oncologic stem cells have been identified in many malignancies, and targeting these cells could help in the fight against cancer. Here are five of the most recent findings regarding cancer stem cells.
Using brain scans, a study has shown that schizophrenia patients have lower levels of the protein SV2A in their brains which presents a drug target.
A team of scientists in the United States has successfully used a drug, which blocks AHR receptors, to prevent and treat obesity in mice. Their findings have spurred further research into the receptors’ association with diet and the gut microbiome.
Researchers have developed a new enzyme that prevents electron build-up in cells caused by aberrant mitochondria which could be a therapeutic technique for rare genetic conditions.
A study has identified a protein complex elevated in PTSD patients and developed a peptide to disrupt it, preventing the recall of fear memories in early tests and paving the way for new therapies.
