The next gene-editing breakthrough may start with the donor template
The editing machinery gets much of the attention in genome editing, but it’s the donor DNA template that can determine whether an edit works. Long synthetic ssDNA could offer researchers another option.
ArticleScientists are already using AI agents. Most of what they learn goes unpublished.
Dr Raminderpal Singh speaks to Dr Srijit Seal about how AI agents are changing computational drug discovery, the impact on scientists’ daily work and why valuable findings remain unpublished.
ArticleWhat will it take to trust human-relevant models in drug discovery?
Could organ-on-a-chip technology help identify drug failures before clinical trials? Jim Corbett of Emulate discusses the evidence needed to make human-relevant models reliable tools in drug discovery.
ArticleEarlier MSA detection could guide alpha-synuclein drug discovery
MSA and Parkinson’s share the same protein pathology, yet MSA progresses far faster. Could earlier detection reveal why and help researchers identify more effective targets for drug discovery?

NewsWhy aptamer cancer therapies are struggling to reach the clinic
Aptamers can recognise cancer-associated targets and deliver drugs directly to tumour cells. So why have so few reached the clinic? A new review examines the barriers to their development.
NewsNew insulin assay speeds up GLP-1 drug candidate testing
A newly developed insulin assay reduced testing time from four hours to around one hour in an evaluation of GLP-1 receptor agonist candidates, delivering comparable results to an established method.
NewsNew antifungal compound targets resistant fungi without kidney toxicity
Researchers have designed an antifungal compound that targets a molecular feature unique to fungi, showing activity against drug-resistant pathogens while avoiding kidney injury in preclinical studies.
News3D Cell Painting reveals cancer drug differences missed in 2D
Two cancer drugs appeared almost identical in conventional screening, but a new 3D Cell Painting method exposed striking differences in their effects, raising questions about what 2D models might miss.

From vial to viable: best practices for culturing organoids
Poor recovery, inconsistent growth and changes in morphology can affect organoid research. How much experimental variability starts with the culture itself?
Webinar
Virus-like particles for vaccine serology: from dengue VLP production to neutralising antibody detection
Find out how virus-like particles are produced at scale, and how they can be used to measure IgM, IgG and neutralising antibody responses in vaccine development.

A sceptical guide to AI agents in drug discovery
AI agents promise to transform drug discovery, but where do they really add value? Dr Eric Ma examines search, model choice, vendor lock-in and why scientific expertise matters more than ever.

Spatial proteomics in FFPE tumour tissue: an end-to-end workflow from prostate cancer research
Follow a complete high-plex spatial proteomics workflow on archival FFPE tumour tissue, from marker-panel design to cell phenotyping, with a prostate cancer case study from the University of Surrey.
Webinar
Cracking cell dynamics with single-cell proteomics and CRISPR
What can pooled CRISPR screening and protein‑level readouts reveal that transcriptomics alone can’t? Explore how single‑cell genomic perturbations, intracellular protein measurements and surface‑protein profiling expose signalling pathways and clarify antibody specificity.
Webinar
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.
