Scientists have discovered that a vaccinated San Diego resident has produced antibodies that are effective against multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2, including Omicron. The research also identified three antibodies that can neutralise the virus, giving new insights into different binding mechanisms with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The findings could help to…
A recent study led by the Lieber Institute for Brain Development has revealed that over 100 genes associated with the risk of schizophrenia appear to contribute to the development of the illness primarily through their influence on the placenta.
Researchers have important implications for the ongoing fight against malaria, a disease that affects approximately 247 million individuals and causes over 619,000 deaths each year, predominantly among young children.
In this infographic, we discuss both inhibition and degradation, the advantages and challenges related to each approach and the key points you need to consider when designing your protein degraders.
An increasing number of people worldwide suffer from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, no treatment is effective for all patients. In this article, researchers working on the Algae4IBD project explain how algae may represent a valuable source of prebiotics and new therapeutic agents for IBD and other diseases.
From a database of more than 200,000 high-resolution, three-dimensional images of human induced pluripotent stem cells, researchers have devised a model to quantify cell shape and internal organization. Susanne Rafelski, Deputy Director of the Allen Institute for Cell Science, revealed details of their study to Drug Target Review.

Researchers are exploring the potential use of HDAC inhibitors, a group of drugs known for their capability to impede tumour cell division, to reduce the pain and damage associated with sickle cell disease. The drugs have shown initial evidence of reactivating the gene responsible for producing foetal haemoglobin, which cannot…
US researchers used focused ultrasound with microbubbles to examine glymphatic system of the brain, which plays a crucial role in clearing metabolic waste from the brain.
US researchers created a 3D model of the bacteria: Helicobacter pylori, to better understand its motility, in order to develop new treatments for bacterial infections.
USC researcher Dr Steven Gazal and his team have identified human genome base pairs that have remained constant over millions of years of mammalian evolution. These base pairs are linked to human disease. Using DNA from 240 mammal species, they identified genetic variations affecting an individual's survival and reproduction.
A recent study from researchers at the University of California examines the BRCA2 gene, which plays a crucial role in repairing damaged DNA, and possible links with increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
Findings from the Republic of Ireland, in relation to GLP-1 obesity treatment showcase its ability to restore the body’s natural cancer-killing defences.
The drug resistant bacteria: CRAB, came into the ICU in hospitals in Hangzhou, China, creating an urgent need for a thorough understanding of the persistence, transmission, and evolution of CRAB populations in such environments.
US researchers usings a ‘SNAP’ receptor system can customise immunotherapies for targeted treatments of cancer and other diseases.
