Learn why researchers turned to biophysical methods to expose the molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases.
Our Ability to image cells has come a long way since the pioneering days of Galileo Galilei and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek.
The articles in this in-depth focus discuss the difficulties in deciding what information to capture when imaging three-dimensional (3D) cell models and the use of non-invasive imaging techniques to discover small molecule drugs to control protein translation.
In this issue authors discuss the development of COVID-19 antibody therapies, how high-throughput screening enhances research at the Crick Institute and why combinations of immuno-oncology drugs could revolutionise treatment of advanced cancers. Also included in the issue are articles on stem cells and imaging.
A team used both structural and spectroscopic techniques to study the dynamics of cell surface G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs).
Learn practical tips from eight Principal Investigators about how to start your own lab.
A novel microscopy method has enabled researchers to study the flow of signalling information within living cells and could enhance our understanding of cancer metastasis.
Learn how you could use high-content analysis for functional & phenotypic assays in your infectious disease research or drug discovery.
High-resolution mass spectrometry has been used by researchers to map the glycan-processing states of the Spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19.
Researchers have uncovered the structure of nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs), an important ingredient in drug production.
The developers of the ultra-precise single-molecule microscope demonstrated it can resolve interactions between molecules within living cells and is compatible with existing microscopes.
By combining quantitative phase microscopy and molecular vibrational imaging, researchers have created a new label-free microscopy technique.
Using cyro-electron microscopy, researchers have imaged the binding site between a molecule and the tumour suppressor protein PP2A, enabling optimisation of the drug compound.
Researchers in the UK have selected nanobodies that bind with high affinity to the Spike protein on the COVID-19 coronavirus, enabling stabilisation for imaging.
Researchers hope that by revealing the rotavirus VP3 protein structure and mRNA capping functions, novel antivirals could be designed to prevent or combat rotavirus infections.
