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.
news
New research points to a possible driver of Parkinson’s disease
A study has shown how Parkinson’s disease may be driven by cell stress-related biochemical events that disrupt a key cellular clean-up system.
news
New study sheds light on drug-resistance mechanism
MIT chemists have discovered a possible way to design drugs that could fight against drug resistance.
news
Game-changing model to identify drugs that may slow AMD
Researchers have identified potential age-related macular degeneration drugs using a novel stem-cell based research tool.
news
Promising new RNA editing technology could be used to treat genetic diseases
New research by the University of California, San Diego could provide a much simpler way to repair disease-causing mutations in RNA.
news
Engineered airway lining created to study how COVID-19 affects respiratory tracts
Researchers have made a respiratory model of COVID-19, made from patient-derived stem cells, to understand how the virus affects respiration and which could be used to test possible drugs.
