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
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.

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.
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
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.

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
Bone marrow stem cell transfusions show promise as potential treatment for sepsis
New research has shown that one-time infusion of stem cells from bone marrow improves the survival of mice with sepsis.
news
Possible new class of compounds to treat diabetes identified
A recent pre-clinical study from Washington University School of Medicine showed that a new class of compounds can potentially improve multiple aspects of metabolic syndrome, including diabetes.
news
Novel antibody could reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission
Researchers at UC Davis Health have engineered an antibody that interferes with a critical cell mechanism to reduce transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19 in lab tests.
news
Five SARS-CoV-2 antiviral candidates revealed in drug screening study
Using virtual screening, researchers have discovered several natural compounds that could inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 main protease.
