Novel antibody candidate could offer pan-coronavirus protection
The lead candidate, ADG2, was able to neutralise SARS-CoV and various strains of SARS-CoV-2, including those that are resistant to currently available antibody treatments.

NSAIDs could be damaging to COVID-19 patients, dependent on timing, suggests study
In murine models of COVID-19, researchers found that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can suppress the inflammatory response and production of antibodies.

CAR T cells targeting the CEACAM7 protein show promise in pancreatic cancer
CAR T cells modified to recognise CEACAM7 were able to eliminate pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells in a late-stage model without toxic effects on healthy tissue.

Could synNotch CAR T cells be the answer to fighting solid tumours?
Researchers have developed a novel CAR T-cell therapy for neuroblastoma which uses gating to limit toxicity and T-cell exhaustion.

High content screening reveals the phenotypic landscape of intestinal organoid regeneration
21 January 2021 | By Yokogawa Life Innovations
Watch our on-demand webinar and learn how image-based phenotypic screening relies on extraction of multivariate information from cells cultured in a large number of screened conditions. In this webinar, we explore the application of complex and biologically relevant model systems for drug screening, such as small intestinal organoids.

Novel target could improve the efficacy of treatments for renal cell carcinoma
A new study shows that upregulating the activity of the ACE2 signalling pathway in kidney cancer cells enhances the effects of clinically used treatments.
news
Targeting PEG2 reverses age-related cognitive decline in mice
The discovery of an inflammatory pathway promoting brain ageing and cognitive decline could lead to new treatments for age-related conditions.

Severe symptoms of COVID-19 are caused by brain infection in mice, finds study
Researchers found that SARS-CoV-2 persists in the brain after it is cleared in the lungs and concluded the severest and longest lasting symptoms of COVID-19 may be caused by brain infection.

Hyper-interleukin-6 allows paralysed mice to walk again
Treating only a few nerve cells with the hyper-interleukin-6 (hIL-6) gene therapy stimulated the regeneration of nerves.
news
SARS-CoV-2 infects CNS and damages brain tissue, study shows
Researchers have shown in cells and models that the central nervous system and neurons can become a target of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
