As AI agents mature, the question becomes: what is the human for?
In part II of his conversation with Dr Nick Lynch, founder of Curlew Research, Raminderpal Singh asks the uncomfortable questions that we may not yet be equipped to answer – or ready to face.
ArticleSynthetic iMSCs: reprogramming ovarian cancer from the inside out
Ovarian cancer has long proved difficult to treat. Could the answer lie within the disease itself? Discover how synthetic iMSCs could reprogramme the tumour microenvironment and restore anti-tumour immunity.
ArticleOrgan chips move closer to drug discovery pipelines
From uncovering new drug targets to predicting human toxicity, organ chips are showing what they could bring to drug discovery. Professor Donald Ingber of Harvard University discusses where the technology is heading next.
ArticleAI’s real value in drug discovery may be choosing the right experiment
AI is becoming more capable, but its value still depends on the data, questions and decisions behind it. Where is it genuinely improving drug discovery and where do the limitations remain?

NewsEuropean initiative aims to bring molecular dynamics into mainstream drug discovery
What if the vast amounts of data generated by molecular dynamics simulations could be routinely shared and reused? A new €10 million European initiative aims to do just that, helping researchers gain a deeper understanding of protein behaviour and drug-target interactions.
NewsPCSK9 peptide vaccine lowers LDL cholesterol in preclinical studies
A structure-guided peptide vaccine targeting PCSK9 has demonstrated durable antibody responses and reduced LDL cholesterol levels in mouse models of hypercholesterolaemia, offering a potential long-lasting alternative to current lipid-lowering therapies.
NewsMIT engineers control blood vessel growth using mechanical stretching
Engineers at MIT have developed a technique to direct blood vessel growth using mechanical forces, offering a potential solution to one of tissue engineering’s most persistent obstacles: vascularisation.
NewsVitronectin protein identified as key driver of lung scarring
Researchers from UTS and Monash University have identified vitronectin as a key protein driving abnormal lung scarring in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, opening a potential new avenue for therapeutic intervention in a disease with very few treatment options.

The global push to reduce animal testing in drug development
Non-animal methods are already used throughout early drug discovery, yet animal testing continues to dominate regulatory safety assessment. Recent initiatives suggest change is coming, but significant scientific and practical challenges remain.
