From early research to quality control, maintaining analytical continuity is no easy task. Could a single sequencing workflow help simplify analytical assessment?
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.
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.
As drug developers pursue increasingly complex therapies, traditional bioanalytical approaches are being put to the test. How is the field adapting to meet these new demands?
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.
Researchers have identified 15-PGDH enzyme inhibition as a neuroprotective strategy in Parkinson’s disease, with repurposable compounds already in clinical development offering a potential shortcut to disease-modifying therapies.
Researchers at UMass Amherst have combined high-throughput laboratory screening with an AI neural network to identify compounds capable of breaching the protective outer membrane of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, potentially accelerating the search for new TB therapeutics.
Cambridge-based cell programming company bit.bio has introduced two new media kits for its iPSC-derived ioGlutamatergic Neurons and ioMicroglia, reducing media preparation costs by around 18-fold and simplifying workflows to widen access to human-relevant research models.
