Treatments for chronic inflammatory diseases are one step closer as a new study discovers a way to stop inflammation in its tracks.
Current technologies that measure molecular interactions for drug discovery slow down and complicate screening. Dianthus is the answer to the demands for fast, non-stop, highly sensitive hit identification, hit validation and lead optimisation.
Cell line development is a major step for examining the efficiency of drug discovery, toxicity and in vitro testing. It reduces time, effort and cost, which minimises the chance of research drugs failing at the clinical trial stage. This stage involves the production of recombinant proteins such as monoclonal antibodies,…
Small molecule drug discovery has long been the domain of pharmaceutical companies, and that’s not likely to change anytime soon. But there’s a cadre of universities and nonprofit research institutes that have embraced drug development at its earliest stages, in some cases identifying and optimising compounds that target possible disease-driving…
An online compound library consisting of the structure of over a billion molecules could be the future of drug discovery...
A natural antibiotic was found to be made from an enzyme, through it triggering chemical reactions that help the production of the bacterial toxin...
A mouse study has revealed that triple-negative breast cancer could be tackled by using recombinant Tinagl1 in therapy targeting signalling pathways...
Streptomyces bacteria has been used to identify compounds that could lead to the production of drugs to treat various conditions...
Harmonising drug-target binding data analytics looks at building a single, integrated software platform for a future pharma research and development digital ecosystem. This webinar, sponsored by PerkinElmer, outlined the fundamentals of a design process where an experimental analytics data workflow was integrated into a more seamlessly interactive digital platform.
High-throughput screening (HTS) technologies have enabled the routine testing of millions of compounds towards the identification of novel ‘hit’ molecules for therapeutic targets. Oftentimes in this drug discovery process, however, compounds that show promising activity in primary screens show no activity during subsequent hit qualification or progression efforts.
This In-Depth Focus examines our understanding of the comprehensive and complex innate immune system, to develop novel treatments and an open source model to eliminate nuisance compounds
Despite being one of the more ancient aspects of immunity, therapeutic modulation of the innate immune system has rarely been attempted. Innate immunity is intrinsically linked to the generation of inflammation – necessary for signalling to the adaptive immune system but often self-perpetuating and over-exaggerated, leading to deleterious effects, including…
Stimulating fibroblasts through the sonic hedgehog pathway can trigger hair growth not previously seen in wound healing...
In this issue: Omics-informed drug target discovery in combating emerging infectious diseases, measuring intracellular ATP levels to access compound-mediated cellular toxicity, and turning organoids into physiologically relevant high-content assays for drug discovery.
War On Cancer 2018 discussed how cancer treatments have evolved over the last few decades, and looked at the future of cancer therapies...
