In this on-demand webinar, we provide an overview of nucleic acid therapeutics and discuss the chromatographic challenges associated with oligonucleotides. We also explore modulation of the mobile phase additives alkylamine ion pair and perfluorinated alcohols. Finally, we will show how optimisation of mobile phase can improve not only chromatographic performance…
A study has revealed 68 protein-coding genes associated with risk of severe COVID-19, nine of which are targeted by drugs currently in clinical trials.
Keith Murphy, CEO of Viscient Biosciences, discusses the process of developing a 3D bioprinted tissue model and their potential in developing therapeutics for COVID-19 and other diseases.
An artificial intelligence platform available online has been designed to help researchers track the genetics of SARS-CoV-2 as it moves from person to person.
The team found that the expression of the APOE4 gene variant in pericytes caused amyloid plaque formation in a blood-brain barrier model.
Scientists created a technique to give photoreceptors infrared-light sensitivity, allowing the animal models to see infrared heat signatures.
The loss of retinal light-sensing photoreceptor cells is a leading cause of blindness and the number of individuals affected by retinal degenerative diseases is increasing with an ageing population. Currently, there are no treatments for these diseases and progress in finding new treatments is slow. This article explores the potential…
Researchers recently conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify factors that increase susceptibility to the incurable lung condition idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Here, Dr Richard Allen shares some of the study’s key findings.
The high-throughput screening (HTS) facility at the Francis Crick Institute in the UK provides a core service for Crick research groups. It enables scientists to use large-scale, unbiased screening technologies and approaches as part of their research. Nikki Withers spoke to the Science Technology Platform Head, Michael Howell, to hear…
Researchers develop a knock-in mouse expressing human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) to model SARS-CoV-2 infection for research and therapeutic or vaccine testing.
The Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) Consortium has released seven papers leveraging its database to study genetic variants and their potential for guiding discovery of safer drugs.
Researchers use CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing to establish gangliosides are invoved in hepatitis A entering liver cells, revealing a potential drug target.
The articles in this in-depth focus discuss the difficulties in deciding what information to capture when imaging three-dimensional (3D) cell models and the use of non-invasive imaging techniques to discover small molecule drugs to control protein translation.
This in-depth focus features articles on using combinations of immuno-oncology drugs to target solid tumours and haematological cancers and how neoantigens of cancer cells could be used as the basis of novel immuno-oncology vaccines.
In this issue authors discuss the development of COVID-19 antibody therapies, how high-throughput screening enhances research at the Crick Institute and why combinations of immuno-oncology drugs could revolutionise treatment of advanced cancers. Also included in the issue are articles on stem cells and imaging.
