New osteoarthritis treatment for horses could work for humans

For the first time, an intervention that seems to slow down osteoarthritis (OA) progression has been presented. In a clinical study from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and the University of Gothenburg, OA horses that received a novel drug treatment became completely free from lameness, with a simultaneous impediment of the joint tissue degradation. […]

Beyond Biotech podcast 52: Antiphospholipid syndrome

June is Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) Awareness Month. APS is a rare autoimmune disorder in which the body recognizes certain normal components of blood and/or cell membranes as foreign substances and produces antibodies against them. There are two known forms. APS may occur in people with systemic lupus erythematosus, other autoimmune disease, or in otherwise healthy […]

Virus tracking could be key to kidney transplant patients’ drug choices

By Dr Gregor Bond More than 15,000 Europeans undergo kidney transplants on average each year, and while medical advances have helped many recipients enjoy healthy lives, the risks of organ rejection and infection remain huge challenges. With each transplant, success depends on using carefully balanced doses of immuno-suppressive drugs to reduce the risk of infection […]

Small particles will deliver TB drugs to the lungs in the future

Treatment of the dangerous infectious disease tuberculosis faces the challenge of pathogens frequently being resistant to several common antibiotics. Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany have developed nanoparticles to deliver new antibiotics directly to the lungs in the future. Surfactants ensure that the highly fat-soluble antibiotics disperse very finely in water and […]

Ovarian cancer study finds key genes for potential treatments

New study is increasing knowledge of why some women with the most lethal form of ovarian cancer respond much better to treatment than others. Researchers at Imperial College London in the U.K. have confirmed that the tumors of some women with high-grade serious ovarian cancer (HGSOC) contain a type of lymphoid tissue – known as […]

Key regulator of COVID viral receptor may be new drug target

Entry of the SARS-CoV-2 virus into human tissues depends on the activity of a host gene that regulates production of a key viral receptor, according to a study published in the open access journal PLOS Biology by Madison Strine and Craig Wilen of Yale University, U.S., and colleagues. The finding provides important new information on […]

New way of identifying proteins supports drug development

All living cells contain proteins with different functions, depending on the type of cell. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden have discovered a way to identify proteins even without looking at their structure. They say their method is faster, easier and more reliable than previous methods. Currently, the general view is that each […]

Bacterial resistance genes a ‘threat to human health’

Genes that make bacteria resistant to antibiotics are much more widespread in our environment than was previously realized. A new study, from Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, shows that bacteria in almost all environments carry resistance genes, with a risk of them spreading and aggravating the problem of bacterial […]
