Researchers have discovered a protein, Ait1, that is responsible for controlling cell growth in yeasts. Since humans and yeasts have remarkably similar cellular mechanisms, teasing out the differences presents drug developers with new target.
Researchers found that uniformly charged macromolecules — or molecules, such as proteins or DNA, which contain many atoms all with the same electrical charge — can self-assemble into very large structures.
After initially serving as a proving ground for integrating forward engineering principles into living cells, synthetic biology is making waves across diverse therapeutic areas. In this article, Dr Dan Mandell, Co-Founder and CEO of GRO Biosciences, explains how the field is reshaping our understanding of the limits of cell- and molecular-based medicines.
Researchers have developed a novel microscopy technique to make invisible molecules visible by “de-crowding” to expand a cell or tissue sample before labelling the molecules.
An in-silico reaction screening strategy could produce compounds potentially useful for novel drug development.
The researchers identified key molecular differences between triple-negative breast cancer cells that cling to an initial tumour and those that venture off to form distant tumours.
Researchers have gained a clearer understanding of the genetic and molecular machinery in human microglia, findings that may provide insight into Alzheimer’s diseases development.
Scientists have identified a molecule that can bind to a lethal subtype of the bacterial Shiga toxin, suppressing its deadly effects.
Scientists from Stanford University have been able to halt the growth of multiple myeloma and diffuse large B cell lymphoma in mice with custom molecule sBCMA-Fc V3.
The study has highlighted an important advance in using graphene for electrokinetic bio-sample processing and analysis.
New research has uncovered a hitherto unknown mechanism whereby chemokines form DNA-bound nanoparticles that play a key role in autoimmune disorders.
Scientists have created a new imaging technique with graphene which generates clearer pictures of the structures of small molecules.
A new study has shown that it is possible to reverse key process that allows pancreatic cancer cells to grow and spread around the body.
Researchers have shown that tiny, robust immune particles derived from a llama’s blood could provide strong protection against every COVID-19 variant.
