New study could lead to diabetes treatment with fewer side effects
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania may have discovered how to eliminate the risk of weight gain from certain diabetes medications by uncovering the difference between two varieties of a protein.
“Monumental” step in using human iPSCs towards treating complication of diabetes
A new study led by the Indiana University School of Medicine showed human induced pluripotent stem cells can improve visual acuity, vascular health and other complications related to type 2 diabetes.
Milestone reached in search of vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus
A new study has showed how a bioengineered RSV protein vaccine can induce a protective immune response in animal models.
Discovery could advance CAR T-cell therapy
Scientists have found a way to “supercharge” tumour-attacking T cells, which could improve the effectiveness of cell-based cancer immunotherapy and expand the number of cancers it can treat.
New research could help design nanocontainers for drug delivery
New research by UC Riverside may be a crucial step in the design of engineered nano-shells that could serve as vehicles for delivering drugs to specific targets in the body.
Novel way to model conditions that impact the lymph system developed
Researchers at Texas A&M University have applied organ-on-chip models to the lymph system to create the first lymphangion-chip.
New findings provide promise of targeted scleroderma treatment
Researchers have discovered a biodegradable nanoparticle that could combat scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disease.
Promising new research could advance memory disorder drug development
Researchers have discovered two types of cells in the brain that are involved in organising discrete memories based on when they occurred. This finding improves the understanding of how the human brain forms memories and could have implications in memory disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Scientists have shown ageing process can be safely and effectively reversed in mice
New research by the Salk Institute has shown cellular rejuvenation therapy safely reverses signs of ageing in mice.
Finding drugs for breast cancer targets
A scientist at the University of Houston receives a $2 million grant to innovate computer-aided drug discovery for breast cancer.
New research could help find a therapy to treat COVID-19
Researchers from the Technical University of Munich have successfully used specific enzymes to destroy the genetic information of SARS-CoV-2 directly after the virus enters a cell.
Improved way to generate breast tumour models
Researchers have developed a new way to generate breast tumour models faster, more reliably and with less immune variability than existing models.
A safer method for gene editing
Researchers at the University of Texas have redesigned a key component of a CRISPR-based gene-editing tool.
Biohybrid micro and nano robots could revolutionise drug delivery
A recent paper highlights how tiny robots with living parts can be designed to effectively deliver drugs to body tissues.
