Japanese researchers have shown that a silicon-based antioxidant agent can suppress the development of kidney failure and Parkinson's disease in rodent models.
A new study has shown that effective and safe M. pneumoniae vaccine could be possible by removing certain lipoproteins from the bacteria.
An analysis of papers relating to COVID-19 has found that female researchers make up a third of authors. Here, the potential reasons behind this figure are explored and a possible solution to encourage equality.
Researchers have proposed a cocktail of two antibodies which they say could provide an effective therapy for COVID-19 patients.
Small molecules named CS1 (bisantrene) and CS2 (brequinar) have been developed by researchers to suppress the growth of tumours and have shown promise in mouse models.
In lab conditions, a new biomaterial was able to accelerate bone regeneration by boosting an immune response that encourages repair.
New research indicates COVID-19 could trigger the development of diabetes in healthy people, prompting experts to establish a registry for COVID-19 and diabetes data.
A group of small molecules called naphthalene-based PLpro inhibitors have been shown to block the activity of a SARS-CoV-2 protein, demonstrating potential as COVID-19 therapeutics.
Dr Jing Watnick discusses how lessons learnt from cancer immunotherapy treatments could be applied to the development of COVID-19 therapies.
A team has successfully created a new method to artificially produce FE399, a compound known to induce apoptosis in cancer cells.
Scientists reveal their reliable and tuneable simulator created using swine lungs, synthetic actuators and artificial muscles.
Pre-clinical testing of the COVIDTRAP™ (STI-4398) protein and STI-1499 antibody reveal they can inhibit SARS-CoV-2 from infecting cells.
Experts suggest that increasing biological and conditional variations in their experiments could not only make them more reproducible but also reduce the total number of animals required.
An area where stem cell biology and medicine are combining effectively is the establishment of new cell therapies. However, current therapies are limited to a narrow set of cell types that can be isolated or created and expanded in vitro. Dr Owen Rackham discusses how utilising computational approaches will further…
