Lipid fingerprint could help TB treatment

A new method that measures the amounts of drugs and lipids in individual cells could help health professionals target more effective treatments for diseases such as tuberculosis (TB). Researchers from the University of Surrey in the U.K. were able to isolate individual living cells that contained drugs commonly used to treat tuberculosis and found that […]

AI boosts genome editing

Researchers at the University of Zurich have developed a new tool that uses artificial intelligence to predict the efficacy of various genome-editing repair options. Unintentional errors in the correction of DNA mutations of genetic diseases can thus be reduced. Genome editing technologies offer great opportunities for treating genetic diseases. Methods such as the widely used […]

Possible drug targets from Korean atherosclerosis research

Research suggests that the enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 2 (PCK2) and its gene play a role in the development of vascular injury and atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a deadly disease; research suggests that proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and formation of a neointimal layer along the inner lining of arteries play a major role in […]

Cancer: what are the barriers to research?

Everyone imagines a world without cancer, but getting there is difficult. With World Cancer Day coming up on February 4, we took the opportunity to ask some life science company CEOs, CMOs, and chief scientific officers the same question about cancer research. We asked CellCentric CEO, Will West; iOnctura CEO, Catherine Pickering; ISA Pharmaceuticals chief […]

Computational chemistry and cancer

by Martin Slater, Cresset Discovery Computational chemistry offers a fast and innovative approach to drug discovery and is especially powerful when used in combination with biological testing to provide a complete and reliable picture of a target system. This is perhaps no better illustrated than in Cresset Discovery’s project with University of South Australia, which […]

The next breakthrough in cancer treatment?

In our body, we have an innate immune system and an immune system that is developed throughout life. Part of the innate immune system consists of so-called NK (natural killer) cells. This is a type of immune cell that specializes in killing cancer cells. These cells may be of great importance for cancer treatment in […]

Psoriasis drug may help treat type 1 diabetes

A large clinical study is now beginning on an approved drug for treating psoriasis. The drug will be tested on patients who were recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The theory is that the drug could preserve the patient’s remaining insulin production. Many hospitals in Sweden are participating in the project, which is funded by […]
