The novel vaccine 4X-SA-GP harnesses the anti-fungal immune response to provide immunity against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infection.
Multiplexing allows multiple biological target analytes to be simultaneously examined and quantified in a single sample. It’s a technique widely used by scientific researchers of all disciplines and provides many benefits.
Researchers reveal their antibiotics disrupt the bacterial TonB system which uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) uses to uptake iron in order to cause urinary tract infections.
A compound called BOLD-100, which has shown efficacy against COVID-19 in pre-clinical trials, has now outperformed remdesivir in a cytopathic effect assay.
A potential COVID-19 vaccine, made from a modified vesicular stomatitis virus with the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, was shown to protect mice against the virus.
Researchers have found that the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein may help the virus to spread from cell to cell, providing a drug target.
Researchers have developed a way for a microrobot to bioprint new cells directly onto gastric wounds inside the body, which they tested in cells.
A drug screen using machine learning has identified hundreds of potential drugs that could be used to treat COVID-19, researchers say.
A protein called PPP1R1B has been revealed as a drug target for pancreatic cancer as it stopped the metastasis of tumours in mice.
A team has developed a predictive tool called TransComp-R which could be used to reveal whether new drugs that have been effective in animals will have positive outcomes in humans.
A molecule called TPPU has been shown to inhibit an enzyme that plays a key role in inflammation, successfully treating arthritis in mice.
A possible treatment and vaccine combination for COVID-19 has shown positive results in pre-clinical studies using human cells.
Researchers have shown that using antisense oligonucleotides to reduce the levels of prion protein in lab animals with prion disease can extended their survival.
The SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein from a COVID-19 vaccine candidate has been characterised by researchers, supporting the neutralising antibody response it elicits.
