Potential for targeted therapies based on the gigaxonin pathway
Researchers have discovered that higher expression of gigaxonin suppresses aggressive growth of human head and neck cancer cells.
Newly discovered role of AF1q in neuroblastoma
Researchers have identified that AF1q is highly expressed in neuroblastoma, and could be used to destabilise N-Myc.
Enhancing the collateral network for beneficial reperfusion
Future interventions for ischaemic stroke patients should enhance collateral function to reduce brain haemorrhage and mortality.
Key insights into vaccine development for herpesviruses
Researchers found that the D48 antibody neutralised HSV-1 virus infection, which could lead to broad-spectrum drug and vaccine development.
Uncovering the changes to β-cells at the onset of type 1 diabetes
A new study provides more clarity about the immune events surrounding the onset of T1D, including a new mechanism that could be used for β-cell protection.
Development of a new recombinant flu vaccine
A new vaccine, based on a nanoliposome that promotes proteins to be displayed on its surface, results in potent vaccine efficacy.
Improved gene editing method for mitochondrial genetic diseases
Researchers have developed the world’s first animal model with A-to-G mtDNA edits achieved using engineered TALEDs.
New cell culture model reveals neurodegeneration mechanisms
Researchers discovered that NPTX2 protein accumulated in cells containing abnormal TDP-43 in FTD and ALS patients.
DOP-targeted therapies could exert significant anxiolytic effects
Researchers have uncovered the role of the PL-BLA neuronal axis and its potential function in DOP-mediated anxiolytic effects.
Using omic data to develop and validate biomarkers of ageing
Researchers highlight the need for considering biomarkers alongside other health outcomes, as well as the need for omic data standardisation.
A promising new treatment strategy for hepatoblastoma
A combination therapy of vincristine, irinotecan and panobinostat, tested in high-risk, relapsed or refractory HB spheroids, decreased tumour marker levels.
Combatting HIV using gene therapy
Researchers have created a nanomedicine loaded with siRNAs, which demonstrated a 73 percent reduction in HIV replication.
4PY found to directly trigger vascular inflammation
Researchers have discovered a new pathway which seems to be a significant contributor to the development of cardiovascular disease.
Potential new therapies for primary open-angle glaucoma
