The immune system's power over antibiotics for infections
The natural process of removing damaged cell parts could present an alternative to antibiotics, especially where bacteria have become resistant to existing drugs.

NewsNeutralising COVID-19 therapeutic antibodies
The Omicron variant of the SARS CoV-2 virus has previously had a number of break-through infections. However, researchers have discovered that antibodies present in previously infected patients can neutralise variants of the COVID-19 disease.

NewsCould long Covid be solved by autoantibodies?
Swiss researchers have found a new class of 'good autoantibodies', which are associated with a favourable course and lower risk of long-Covid.

NewsWeaponising SARS-CoV-2 spike protein against itself to prevent infection
By creating a drug that is based on part of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, US and Finnish researchers can block the virus from entering cells.
-
ArticleLatest in lab automation
In this article Drug Target Review's Izzy Wood highlights three of the latest findings using lab automation techniques and technologies that aid scientists.

NewsMeasles virus can develop mutations that cause fatal SSPE
Japanese researchers find a new mechanism for how the measles virus can cause a rare but fatal neurological disorder: subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE).
-
NewsAI tools aid the discovery of super tight-binding antibodies
An AI strategy developed by US scientists could accelerate the development of new antibody drugs.
-
NewsHost-cell factors involved in COVID-19 infections may predict improved treatments
Researchers have found a potential therapeutic target less vulnerable to potential drug resistance and emerging COVID-19 variants of concern.

Article2023 and beyond: revolutionising drug discovery
Drug discovery trends in 2023 will change the way we conduct science and result in entirely new, more efficient, and effective research paradigms. Through increased public-private partnerships, multidisciplinary collaboration and patient engagement in the drug discovery process, we will see new vaccines and therapies getting to the public faster and ...

NewsNew system for safer CRISPR-based gene drive testing and development
US researchers outline the development of a new system for testing and developing CRISPR-based gene drives in the laboratory, and safely converting them into tools for potential real-world applications.
-
NewsSARS-CoV-2 antibodies can bind to two viral targets at once
US researchers find that SARS-CoV-2 bivalent antibodies can continue to neutralise Omicron and Omicron lineages.

NewsThe spike of SARS-CoV-2 promotes metabolic rewiring in hepatocytes
The researchers argue hepatocytes are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus infection and propose that metformin could be a therapeutic option to attenuate SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with fatty liver.
