Japanese squirrels develop human hereditary diseases with ageing
Researchers at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, led by Dr Tomoaki Murakami, have uncovered a previously undocumented disease, fibrinogen Aα-chain amyloidosis, highly prevalent in Japanese squirrels, shedding light on its parallels with the human condition. Their findings offer new insights into amyloidosis and its potential implications for medical research.

SH2 domains as a target class in cancer and inflammation
25 July 2023 | By Eurofins Discovery
New SH2 domain binding assays developed by Eurofins Discovery have been launched to support drug discovery initiatives in the protein-protein interaction space and in targeted protein degradation. We present small molecule case study data for important targets within this target class including STAT Transcription factors and Kinases.
