A drug target is anything within a living organism to which a drug is directed and/or binds, resulting in a change in its behaviour or function.
New research has discovered a key survival mechanism in metastatic melanoma, revealing that cancer cells spreading to lymph nodes depend on a protein called FSP1 to avoid cell death.
New research from Johns Hopkins Medicine reveals that the enzyme BVRA protects brain cells from oxidative stress, allowing for potential new methods for treating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Long considered structural support cells, a new research study has discovered how fibroblasts actively worsen heart failure by disrupting heart muscle function, which could lead to new therapeutic strategies for heart failure.
Part II shows that the predictive validity crisis can be solved by rethinking how the industry chooses models, measures outcomes and integrates systems. Success stories from Vertex, Regeneron and AstraZeneca illustrate how aligning biology, measurement and strategy can reverse decades of declining productivity.
Researchers have identified a key cellular mechanism that drives pulmonary fibrosis and successfully blocked it in mice, reducing lung scarring.
New research has discovered how Rab proteins control the delivery of critical supplies to strengthen neural connections, providing researchers with important insights into memory formation and potential strategies for Alzheimer’s resilience.
Scientists have discovered the molecular ‘switch’ that powers sperm for fertilisation, which could potentially lead to new infertility treatments.
A new study has demonstrated that sweet-sensing taste cells, protected by the protein c-Kit, survive nerve injury and drive the regeneration of taste buds.
Researchers have discovered a surface protein that helps acute myeloid leukaemia cells evade the immune system, offering potential insights to aid the development of new treatments.
Researchers have developed a new blood test method, CloneSeq-SV, that tracks treatment-resistant ovarian cancer cells over time. The approach could help predict recurrence and guide targeted therapies.
A newly discovered RNA molecule, EUDAL, helps oral cancers survive chemotherapy by keeping a key growth protein permanently active. Researchers say targeting EUDAL could predict resistance and improve treatment outcomes.
Multiomics, AI and liquid biopsies are giving researchers real-time insight into tumour biology and enabling more personalised cancer therapies. Find out how these technologies are advancing biomarker discovery, improving patient stratification, and guiding the design of new treatments.
Scientists have discovered a new family of bacterial proteins – called ComFB – that regulate both movement and DNA uptake – suggesting potential new methods to combat pathogenic infections.
New research highlights how cancer hijacks the unfolded protein response (UPR) in bone cells – potentially allowing for the development of therapies that target this pathway to prevent fractures.
NYU researchers have identified a receptor in prostaglandins that triggers pain without affecting inflammation – which could lead to safer, more targeted pain treatments.
