Severe COVID-19 symptoms may not be caused by cytokine storm
An analysis reveals that in comparison to other inflammatory diseases such as cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) and sepsis, the levels of cytokines in severely ill COVID-19 patients is low.

Study reveals which neurons are most affected by epilepsy, presenting novel targets for seizure drug discovery and development.
New findings suggest that late-onset Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is driven by epigenetic changes in the brain.
Scientists reveal that some patients who develop severe COVID-19 symptoms mount ineffective immune responses due to a lack of type I interferons, either through genetic mutation or inactivation by auto-reactive antibodies.
Inhaled general anaesthetics have been used for over 100 years and continue to be used daily for surgeries around the world. But how do they induce changes to consciousness? This article explores the research that suggests the anaesthetics chloroform and isoflurane disrupt the organisation of lipid rafts within cellular membranes…
The detailed analysis of adenosquamous cancer of the pancreas (ASCP) suggested FGFR and RORC were two promising therapeutic targets.
IN NOVEMBER 2017, leadXpro chose to strengthen its capabilities with the Creoptix™ WAVEsystem. “We were looking for a label‑free, biophysical method to investigate binding affinity and kinetics of small molecules with challenging integral membrane proteins,” explained Michael Hennig, Chief Executive Officer of leadXpro.
We have entered a new era of drug discovery where the use of advanced cell models such as multi-cellular co-cultures, stem cells and CRISPR-based screens can lead to the next generation of therapeutics.
Multiplexing allows multiple biological target analytes to be simultaneously examined and quantified in a single sample. It’s a technique widely used by scientific researchers of all disciplines and provides many benefits.
Therapeutic oligonucleotides represent a recent breakthrough in the pharmaceutical industry.
Therapeutic oligonucleotides represent a recent breakthrough in the pharmaceutical industry. However, characterisation of oligos, specifically by ion-pair reversed phase liquid chromatography (IPRPLC), can be quite challenging.

Silencing RNA, or siRNA, are short, double-stranded RNA molecules which are not only an important research tool in molecular biology, but also an emerging therapeutic modality.
Superficially porous particle technologies provide a reduced diffusion path in comparison with their fully porous counterparts minimising the resistance to mass transfer during chromatographic separation.
The newly identified hallmarks of critical COVID-19 indicate a combination of interferon supplementation and anti-inflammatory therapies could be effective in treating patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms.
