Researchers have made a respiratory model of COVID-19, made from patient-derived stem cells, to understand how the virus affects respiration and which could be used to test possible drugs.
Researchers at UC Davis Health have engineered an antibody that interferes with a critical cell mechanism to reduce transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19 in lab tests.
By identifying a mechanism behind bone strengthening in response to stress, researchers have found a possible new target for treating conditions that weaken bones.
Using chemical genetic screening and pre-clinical model studies, researchers have discovered that inducing ubiquitin-mediated degradation of mutant EZH2 could provide a more effective treatment strategy for haematologic malignancies.
Using virtual screening, researchers have discovered several natural compounds that could inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 main protease.
A new study has identified harmful cellular pathways that prevent insulin production, presenting a drug target for diabetes.
Researchers have shown that engineered bacterial genes coding for sodium ion channels could lead to novel gene therapies for electrical heart diseases.
A new CAR T-cell therapy for B-cell cancers promises to reduce the antigen escape currently found in therapies that only target CD19.
The length of time that drug molecules attach to their target protein varies greatly and impacts the protein’s behaviour and drug efficacy. In a new study, scientists in Finland have identified some causal factors for this variance, with the hope it will bring clarity for drug developers.
Scientists at Georgia State University have developed an intranasal influenza vaccine using a new combination of nanoparticles for improved defence against flu strains.
Researchers have established a list of compounds that effect cytokine storms that could reduce mortality in COVID-19 patients.
The first patient-derived stem cell model to research eye conditions related to oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) has been created.
Scientists in Japan have developed a credible heart cell model for arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy and observed a positive response in the condition using PKP2 gene therapy.
Researchers have found that extracellular vimentin facilitates SARS-CoV-2 entry into human cells, presenting a new target.
