Stronger binding isn’t always better. Dr Teresa Barata of FairJourney Bio explains how researchers engineered a dual-specificity antibody switch designed to control IL-12 activity in tumours.
Oligonucleotides can remain in tissues long after disappearing from circulation, but does accumulation necessarily indicate toxicity? Dr Tina Rogers examines the evidence needed to interpret preclinical safety findings.
Promising compounds don’t always engage their targets in living cells. At ELRIG Drug Discovery 2026, Dr Joshua Sopp of Promega discusses why earlier cellular testing matters and how BRETSA could help researchers investigate new drug targets.
Six scientists and industry experts discuss the challenges of automating drug discovery, from improving screening reliability and reproducibility to developing more autonomous laboratories.
A new peer-reviewed review explores whether psychedelic compounds could influence cancer biology through neurological and immune mechanisms, whilst identifying psychological wellbeing as the most credible near-term clinical opportunity.
A small regulatory DNA element called HRRINT3 has been found to play a critical role in enabling the androgen receptor to suppress cell growth in oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, pointing towards new therapeutic strategies for patients with advanced disease.
Asgard Therapeutics has shown that its in vivo cell reprogramming platform can reliably induce mature immunogenic tertiary lymphoid structures across seven tumour types.
A review led by researchers at the Naval Medical University proposes a structured framework for evaluating plant-derived anti-inflammatory compounds, warning that pathway inhibition alone is insufficient evidence of direct molecular target engagement.
Six scientists and industry experts discuss the challenges of automating drug discovery, from improving screening reliability and reproducibility to developing more autonomous laboratories.
Poor recovery, inconsistent growth and changes in morphology can affect organoid research. How much experimental variability starts with the culture itself?
How can multiomics help researchers identify more promising drug targets? Dr Shi-qi An explores how combining molecular data can reveal therapeutic vulnerabilities and mechanisms of drug resistance.
