Discover how integrated technologies, multiomic approaches and AI are helping researchers translate complex biological signals into actionable tools for drug development and patient care.
What if extreme levels of common traits have a different genetic basis? New research suggests rare, large-effect variants could help explain the extremes and identify potential drug targets.
AI is making drug discovery faster, but can it make it more successful? Discover why combining AI with systems biology could help researchers tackle the biological complexity behind drug failure.
Hundreds of new patient-derived cancer models could strengthen target validation, identify cancer vulnerabilities and provide more representative systems for preclinical drug discovery.
A new review published in the European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics argues that no single local drug-delivery formulation will suit every oral squamous cell carcinoma tumour, urging researchers to anchor development in clinical and biological context from the outset.
Researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered that BRAF, a protein well known for its role in cancer, may also drive chronic pain following nerve injury – raising the prospect of repurposing approved cancer drugs as treatments for neuropathic pain.
St Jude researchers have demonstrated that deleting the Regnase-1 gene from CAR T cells significantly improves tumour control and prevents metastasis in preclinical models of relapsed osteosarcoma, paving the way for an early-phase clinical trial.
Researchers at Monash University have grown miniature human kidneys from stem cells that could give drug discovery teams a more human-relevant model for investigating acute kidney injury and identifying therapies that promote tissue recovery.
One receptor can protect antibodies from degradation, extend their half-life and become a drug target itself. Explore the science behind FcRn and how researchers measure its function.
As oligonucleotide therapeutics continue to advance, their safety assessment presents challenges that differ from traditional drug modalities. Discover how nonclinical safety studies, evolving regulatory expectations and real-world case examples can help you navigate these challenges with greater confidence.
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.
