Molecular Targets
news
Cell survival mechanisms identified through RNA regulation in central nervous system
A new study from Niigata University has found a binding protein that is vital for proper development of the central nervous system.
news
Findings reveal possible connection to substance use disorders and metabolic dysfunctions
A new study on substance abuse disorders highlights an existing connection between specific neurons and peripheral organs.
news
New findings provide promise of targeted scleroderma treatment
Researchers have discovered a biodegradable nanoparticle that could combat scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disease.
news
Promising new research could advance memory disorder drug development
Researchers have discovered two types of cells in the brain that are involved in organising discrete memories based on when they occurred. This finding improves the understanding of how the human brain forms memories and could have implications in memory disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
news
Molecular pathway shared by two neurodegenerative disorders found
Scientists have gained deeper knowledge about the mislocalisation of a protein, providing a possible therapeutic target that could have implications in treating dementia.
news
Study identifies key regulator of cell differentiation
Long-awaited findings about cell differentiation will be relevant in understanding normal development and may also be useful in cancer research.
news
New cryo-EM method reveals insight into blood disorders
A molecular cage, developed for use during cryo-EM, has provided researchers with new insights into a key cancer protein.
news
Promising target for osteoporosis treatments found in new study
By identifying a mechanism behind bone strengthening in response to stress, researchers have found a possible new target for treating conditions that weaken bones.
news
Study identifies new therapeutic target for haematologic malignancies
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.
news
Pathway to treat type 1 diabetes revealed in study
A new study has identified harmful cellular pathways that prevent insulin production, presenting a drug target for diabetes.
news
Novel CAR T-cell therapy for B-cell cancers shows promise in vivo
A new CAR T-cell therapy for B-cell cancers promises to reduce the antigen escape currently found in therapies that only target CD19.
news
New research sheds light on what influences target protein binding time
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.
news
New protein that enables SARS-CoV-2 access into cells identified
Researchers have found that extracellular vimentin facilitates SARS-CoV-2 entry into human cells, presenting a new target.
news
Gut-brain pathway metabolite involved in age-related cognitive decline, study shows
In mice, researchers have shown that δ-valerobetaine plays a role in neurocognitive ability, making the metabolite a target for age-related memory loss.
