NewsHIV drug Maraviroc could be used to slow glioblastoma growth
Researchers have discovered how seemingly supportive brain cells help glioblastoma thrive, whilst identifying an existing HIV drug, Maraviroc, that could be repurposed to slow tumour growth.
-
NewsNew study revives long-doubted target for depression drugs
Researchers have shown that changing the molecular structure of NK1 receptor antagonists may restore antidepressant effects after decades of failed trials.
-
NewsNew Type 2 diabetes drugs may improve insulin sensitivity
Scientists have used advanced computer modelling and lab techniques to design potential new diabetes drugs that improve insulin sensitivity.

NewsPropofol and insulin may reduce cognitive decline in older age
New research from the University of Illinois suggests that widely used drugs, including propofol and intranasal insulin, could help protect ageing brains from memory decline and postoperative cognitive impairment.
-
NewsTRPM5 protein switch discovery could lead to new diabetes drugs
Northwestern University scientists have discovered a hidden ‘control switch’ in the TRPM5 protein, which helps regulate taste, blood sugar and gut health and could lead to new therapies for targeting diabetes and obesity.
-
NewsBlocking PAF receptor could offer new liver cirrhosis treatment
Spanish researchers have discovered a key inflammatory mechanism that could lead to new innovative treatments to reduce liver damage and improve vascular function in cirrhosis.

NewsBlocking the P2X4 receptor: a potential pathway to new therapies
Researchers have discovered how to inhibit the P2X4 receptor, a key protein linked to chronic pain, inflammation and certain cancers.
-
NewsKinase inhibitors shown to accelerate protein breakdown
A new study has revealed that many kinase inhibitors – key drugs used in cancer and other diseases – also trigger the accelerated degradation of their target proteins, which could inform future therapies.
-
NewsBVRA enzyme may slow down Alzheimer’s progression
New research from Johns Hopkins Medicine reveals that the enzyme BVRA protects brain cells from oxidative stress, allowing for potential new methods for treating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

ArticleMeet WRPRFa: the precision peptide changing how we study pain
A newly developed peptide, WRPRFa, is giving scientists a clearer view of how the acid-sensing ion channel (ASIC3) drives pain signalling.
-
ArticleWhen chemistry corrects biology: the deuterated return of a MET inhibitor
A promising MET inhibitor failed in the clinic due to human-specific metabolism. Now its deuterated analogue, DO-2, is showing that a simple isotope swap might overcome the problem.
-
ArticleFrom war rooms to launch rooms: how AI is changing the game
Within3’s Jason Smith explores how artificial intelligence is breathing new life into next-generation launch situation rooms; delivering actionable insights for pharmaceutical companies.
