Pre-clinical study shows significant increase in effectiveness of breast cancer immunotherapy
Scientists have discovered the essential role of a ligand-dependent corepressor to potentially enable cancer cells to present tumour antigens on their surfaces.
news
Novel approach for discovering cancer drug targets
A next-generation spatial genomics technology has allowed scientists to link specific genes to complex tumour characteristics at a scale and resolution not previously possible.
news
Vaccine to potentially protect against disfiguring skin disease developed
Using CRISPR gene-editing technology, scientists have developed a vaccine designed to prevent infection by Leishmania major.
news
Tool developed to fight cancer rapidly and effectively
Scientists from Northwestern University have developed a new technology platform that could bring individualised cell therapies to cancer patients.
news
Findings reveal possible connection to substance use disorders and metabolic dysfunctions
A new study on substance abuse disorders highlights an existing connection between specific neurons and peripheral organs.
news
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.
news
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.
news
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.
news
New findings provide promise of targeted scleroderma treatment
Researchers have discovered a biodegradable nanoparticle that could combat scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disease.
news
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.
news
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.
news
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.
news
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.
news
Clearer imaging approach captures images of blood vessels
Researchers have developed a new imaging approach that can capture blood vessel images at different spatial scales.
