Turning CNS biomarkers into better drug development decisions
Why do promising CNS therapies struggle to translate into patients? Three experts explore how biomarkers can track therapeutic effects, improve patient selection and guide development decisions.
ArticleFast-tracking AI-designed binders with cell-free expression and SPR
AI can rapidly generate new protein binders, but wet-lab validation remains a major bottleneck. Combining cell-free protein synthesis with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) enables AI-designed antibody binders to be screened directly from crude extracts, bypassing lengthy cell culture and purification steps.
ArticleSample collection: the overlooked key to genomic study success
As genomic studies become larger and more diverse, sample collection can make or break their success. Discover why collection strategy matters for recruitment, scale and data quality.
ArticleWhy more ribosomes can mean less protein in mRNA therapeutics
What happens when the cellular machinery making therapeutic proteins slows down? New research in Nature shows why translation speed could matter for the design of mRNA medicines.

NewsLiver cancer organoids used to screen 1,600 potential treatments
Researchers at the University of Basel have screened more than 1,600 compounds using a biobank of 35 hepatocellular carcinoma organoids, identifying drug combinations that show selective anti-tumour activity across biologically diverse liver cancers.
NewsWhy researchers are targeting Nav1.7 in the search for longer-lasting pain relief
Humanised antibodies targeting the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7 have demonstrated prolonged suppression of neuropathic pain in a rat model.
NewsBacterial enzyme found to weaken gut protective hormone signal
A bacterial enzyme produced by Bacteroides vulgatus has been shown to inactivate the intestinal hormone GLP-2, disrupting gut barrier function and aggravating colitis in a preclinical model — with a natural product inhibitor identified as a potential intervention.
NewsMicroproteins emerge as potential new Alzheimer’s targets
Scientists at the Salk Institute have constructed a comprehensive atlas of previously uncharacterised microproteins in the human frontal cortex, identifying over 1,000 novel candidates.

What it really takes to turn cancer discoveries into new therapies
Five leading cancer researchers from across genomics, proteomics, cell biology, chemical biology and gene therapy dig into what’s driving cancer drug discovery forward and what’s still holding progress back.
Opinion and interviews
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.
