COVID vaccine that could protect against Omicron and other variants
The antigen-based vaccine has the potential to induce sterilising immunity to old and new SARS-CoV-2 variants by preventing infection by stopping viral replication and transmission through the inhibition of cellular virus entry.
Preventing tumour growth
Researchers have developed a novel substance that disables a protein in the cell skeleton, leading to cell death. In this way, substances of this type can prevent the growth of tumours.
Micro-scaffolds as a new strategy in tissue engineering
Using a special laser-based 3D printing technique, researchers have produced micro-scaffolds with a diameter of less than a third of a millimetre, which can accommodate thousands of cells.
Researchers plan to image every cell in the human brain at unprecedented speed
Columbia-led team wins research grant to create fundamentally new maps that will chart cell diversity throughout the brains of humans.
Pfizer to acquire ReViral and its respiratory syncytial virus therapeutic candidates
Pfizer has announced its acquisition of ReViral to advance disease research and development with a complementary strategy to help improve patient outcomes through treatment for respiratory syncytial virus infections and prevent illness through vaccination.
VBI Vaccines announces progress from coronavirus programme
Pre-clinical research from VBI Vaccines has demonstrated an encouraging ability to boost and broaden the immune response against the coronavirus Beta variant.
Simple delivery method that enhances a promising cancer treatment
Scientists have developed a delivery method that enhances treatment by adding CAR T cells and specialising signalling proteins to a hydrogel that is injected next to a tumour.
Innovative therapy that “tricks” and destroys cancer cells
New research has shown iron-like compound holds promise for treating patients with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer.
Signatures of certain RNA molecules may help improve disease diagnostics
Scientists have found that molecules produced by cells in response to stress may be indicators of various diseases.
Scientists create brain organoids to understand autism
Researchers have been using brain organoids to understand how a mutated gene affects the brain at its very early stage of development.
A revolutionary technique to rejuvenate skin cells
Researchers have developed a new method to rewind the age of skin cells by 30 years without losing their specialised functions.
Research provides a potential drug target to treat diabetes and obesity
A new study by University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio has found that boosting liver mRNAs in obese mice reduces appetite and body weight.
Newborn brain cells provide a possible treatment for epilepsy
Scientists gained new insights into how immature astroglia might contribute to epilepsy, opening research towards developing new anti-seizure medications.
Almirall announces a new research collaboration with the University of Dundee to develop an innovative treatment for skin diseases
Almirall and University of Dundee announce a collaboration to develop a novel treatment to fully control itch in skin diseases and achieve a prolonged and profound therapeutic effect for patients.
