New findings provide promise of targeted scleroderma treatment
Researchers have discovered a biodegradable nanoparticle that could combat scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disease.
Promising new research could advance memory disorder drug development
Researchers have discovered two types of cells in the brain that are involved in organising discrete memories based on when they occurred. This finding improves the understanding of how the human brain forms memories and could have implications in memory disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Scientists have shown ageing process can be safely and effectively reversed in mice
New research by the Salk Institute has shown cellular rejuvenation therapy safely reverses signs of ageing in mice.
Finding drugs for breast cancer targets
A scientist at the University of Houston receives a $2 million grant to innovate computer-aided drug discovery for breast cancer.
New research could help find a therapy to treat COVID-19
Researchers from the Technical University of Munich have successfully used specific enzymes to destroy the genetic information of SARS-CoV-2 directly after the virus enters a cell.
Improved way to generate breast tumour models
Researchers have developed a new way to generate breast tumour models faster, more reliably and with less immune variability than existing models.
A safer method for gene editing
Researchers at the University of Texas have redesigned a key component of a CRISPR-based gene-editing tool.
Biohybrid micro and nano robots could revolutionise drug delivery
A recent paper highlights how tiny robots with living parts can be designed to effectively deliver drugs to body tissues.
Molecular pathway shared by two neurodegenerative disorders found
Scientists have gained deeper knowledge about the mislocalisation of a protein, providing a possible therapeutic target that could have implications in treating dementia.
Clearer imaging approach captures images of blood vessels
Researchers have developed a new imaging approach that can capture blood vessel images at different spatial scales.
How RNA molecules can control repair of human DNA in cancer cells revealed
New research from the Karolinska Institutet shows that RNA molecules have a much broader function in the development of cancer.
Cannabidiol analogue could enhance chemotherapy by preventing neuropathic pain
A new study has revealed a cannabidiol analogue can possibly prevent neuropathic pain induced by chemotherapy, as well as being beneficial against cancer.
Study highlights possibility of using 3D organoids of the cervix to test drugs
A new study modelled chlamydia and HPV co-infection in patient-derived ectocervix organoids to reveal distinct cellular reprogramming.
Open-source framework developed for automated pipetting and imaging
Scientists have demonstrated how automated, high-throughput life science experiments can be replicated on a modest budget.
