Despite the promise of gene therapies, significant challenges have emerged in the field. Dr Carsten Brunn discusses the current obstacles and opportunities when developing gene therapies.
A team has demonstrated in mouse models that a self-assembling nanofibre material could limit the damage caused by cytokines in inflammatory diseases.
A team has created a biosynthetic pathway for E. coli that allows the bacteria to produce a common arthritis drug.
Enosi Life Science researchers Sir Marc Feldmann, Dr H Michael Shepard and Dr Fiona McCann explain why anti-TNF therapies may be effective in treating COVID-19 associated cytokine storms and other inflammatory conditions.
A molecule called TPPU has been shown to inhibit an enzyme that plays a key role in inflammation, successfully treating arthritis in mice.
Researchers observed that deleting the IRE1-alpha gene caused beta cells to de-differentiate and then re-differentiate in mice, preventing immune system auto-activation.
The UK Biobank, the world’s largest genetics project, will sequence 500,000 genetic samples, which will be available to researchers everywhere.
CMPK2 inhibitors may reduce inflammation, pain and tissue damage in arthritis and gout and in Alzheimer’s may slow loss of cognitive function...
Researchers have identified a new gene that plays a critical role in regulating the body's immune response to infection and disease...
Scientists have discovered that itaconate - a molecule derived from glucose - acts as a powerful off-switch for macrophages...
A research team has discovered the process - and filmed the actual moment - that can change the body’s response to a dying cell.
Scientists have discovered a molecule that enhances cartilage regeneration and decreases inflammation.
Researchers have found a pattern of genes which is characteristic of osteoarthritis and may be a step towards better treatments for this condition.
