In the wake of the human genome project, molecular biology and genetic technologies are tremendously integrating into biomedical research. Currently, PCR, qPCR, and sequencing are key tools in the clinical laboratory for the detection and characterisation of microorganisms and genetic disorders.
High-throughput screening (HTS) technologies have enabled the routine testing of millions of compounds towards the identification of novel ‘hit’ molecules for therapeutic targets. Oftentimes in this drug discovery process, however, compounds that show promising activity in primary screens show no activity during subsequent hit qualification or progression efforts.
A lower quantity of contrast protein, in comparison to current methods, has obtained clear, high-resolution images from magnetic resonance imaging...
The Blue Brain 3D atlas could be the future of analysing all cells in the brain, with high quality, high resolution images that can navigate the brain...
Researchers have made discoveries about the formation of cellular components called membraneless organelles and the key role these organelles play in cells...
Development and production of biopharmaceuticals is complex. Even minor impurities, or changes in attributes such as glycosylation or charge heterogeneity, can have a profound impact on the safety and efficacy of the final product. Traditionally, multiple analytical techniques have been required to assess the full range of biopharmaceutical product attributes.…
UCLA-led research has shown how using electron microscopes to analyse small molecules coud be beneficial in speeding up the drug discovery process...
Researchers have developed a polio vaccine that doesn't require refrigeration, meaning it could someday be used all over the world...
J-proteins such as Xdj1, as helpers of the heat shock protein 70 chaperones, and were found to be involved in the transport of proteins to the mitochondria...
In this issue: Omics-informed drug target discovery in combating emerging infectious diseases, measuring intracellular ATP levels to access compound-mediated cellular toxicity, and turning organoids into physiologically relevant high-content assays for drug discovery.
Mouse models used to show how convection enhanced delivery caused glioma cells to invade the rest of the brain could help to prevent this spread in future...
