This issue includes articles that explore how a next-generation genomics platform can be used for COVID-19 research, the elimination of neutralising AAV antibodies for gene therapies and a new quick and cost-effective biomarker technology for cancer diagnostics. Also in this issue are features on antibody therapeutics for COVID-19 and targets…
Researchers discovered the monoclonal antibodies of a convalescent Marburg infection patient bound to the glycoprotein and combatted infection in two novel ways.
A new study has developed a deep learning approach that analyses protein interactions, which could improve the design of drugs in the future.
A new technique called ‘ubiquitin clipping’ has been created which could aid proteomics research and the development of new drugs for ubiquitination.
A machine-learning model has been developed to analyse protein sequences, giving an insight to their structure, function and phylogeny...
The catastrophic consequences of ever-increasing rates of death from infectious diseases demands new experimental strategies for drug target selection and drug design. Over the last decade, the pharmaceutical industry has been wounded by several issues including failure of drug-development programmes, burgeoning cost of drug development, increasing regulatory control, lack of…
