Novel IRF4 inhibitor shows promise as myeloma treatment in mice
An antisense oligonucleotide has been developed by researchers to inhibit IRF4 as a potential strategy to treat multiple myeloma.
Discovering the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance could lead to better drugs
A single change to the structure of bacterial ribosomes prevents macrolide antibiotics from binding and killing the bacteria, according to a study.
Severe symptoms of COVID-19 are caused by brain infection in mice, finds study
Researchers found that SARS-CoV-2 persists in the brain after it is cleared in the lungs and concluded the severest and longest lasting symptoms of COVID-19 may be caused by brain infection.
CBD shown to kill Gram-negative bacteria in pre-clinical studies
Researchers have shown that CBD can kill Gram-negative bacteria, which could lead to the first new class of antibiotics for resistant bacteria in 60 years.
Researchers discover mechanism behind severe cases of G6PD deficiency
Researchers have revealed how the most severe cases of G6PD deficiency occur, which could help scientists design new drugs for the disease.
Scientists identify nutrient that helps prevent bacterial infection
Scientists have identified a potential alternative to antibiotics, a nutrient named taurine that helps the microbiome kill invading bacteria.
New tissue engineering process brings laboratory-grown organs one step closer
Researchers have developed a new technique that that could one day enable us to grow fully functional human organs in the laboratory.
New method for rapid development of vaccines for pre-clinical tests
Using synthetic chemistry, researchers have fused hydrophobic adjuvants with water-soluble proteins to create a new type of vaccine.
Activating androgen signalling has potent anti-breast cancer effects
Researchers show selectively activating androgen receptors could be an effective treatment for oestrogen receptor positive breast cancers.
Hyper-interleukin-6 allows paralysed mice to walk again
Treating only a few nerve cells with the hyper-interleukin-6 (hIL-6) gene therapy stimulated the regeneration of nerves.
Knee injection shows promise as osteoarthritis treatment in mice
Scientists have found that a new knee injection using nanomedicine could prevent the effects of osteoarthritis.
Researchers link cellular transport pathway to glioblastoma
A study has said that restoring a particular protein's activity could be a new therapeutic strategy to treat glioblastoma.
Recovered COVID-19 patients may be protected, but they could still transmit the virus
According to a Public Health England study, prior SARS-CoV-2 infection provides 83 percent protection against reinfection but may not stop individuals spreading COVID-19.
Artificial intelligence analyses how viruses evade the immune system
The natural language processing model trained using viral protein sequence data was able to predict promising targets for vaccines against HIV, influenza and coronaviruses.
