CRISPR libraries can be highly useful for target identification, gene screens and drug discovery. Dr Erik Willems, Senior Manager of Cell Biology at Thermo Fisher Scientific, discusses the company’s CRISPR libraries and the advantages they can offer scientists.
An experimental drug suggests that therapy for currently untreatable cases of cystic fibrosis is “clearly achievable”.
Drug molecules from pine and spruce trees can affect certain ion channels and had antiseizure effects in pre-clinical studies.
A team has developed 10 new versions of the antibiotic gramicidin A, which they say should be safe for use in pills or injections.
The researchers revealed the mechanism by which signalling becomes dysfunctional in upper motor neuron (UMN) diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Scientists have imaged the ball-and-chain mechanism using cryogenic electron microscopy and hope their work could be applied in the design of novel therapeutics.
A new study has used a combination of imaging methods to understand how the Piezo protein works, improving research into treatments for conditions such as high blood pressure.
A study has discovered a pathway that allows the enterovirus to successfully infect cells and promote genome release which could be a therapeutic target.
GABAA receptors represent a large and complicated family of ion channels that consist of at least 16 subunits (α1-6, β1-3, γ1-3, δ, ε, π, θ) that have been shown to be vital for the normal functioning of the brain. These inhibitory ligand-gated channels have been shown to beimportant in sedation,…
Assessing targets that are unable – or rather, extremely difficult – to reach pharmacologically, has prevented researchers from achieving desired clinical successes, most notably in the realm of cancer research. However, many advances are being made to shedlight on these difficult yet desirable target areas.
Euro Metabolomics 2018 will be a platform to investigate on recent research and advancements that can be useful to the researchers.
A new study which identifies how acetylcholine impacts learning and memory by acting at different receptors could prove significant in the drive to develop more targeted and effective therapies for dementia...

This webinar explores neurological ion channel therapeutic and liability targets, featuring four subtypes of NMDA receptors. We also discuss the rationale and options for assessment of therapeutic compounds on panels of CNS ion channels for evaluating their risk for CNS liabilities...
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-gated ion channels serve important neurophysiological functions and have been an attractive class of drug target for a decade...
