A molecule called BOLD-100, developed to fight cancer, has been suggested as a therapeutic to combat the COVID-19 coronavirus due to its antiviral properties.
A new compound, called FL118, was effective at combatting multiple myeloma in advanced stages of the condition in patient samples as well as mice, say researchers.
The identification of host dependency factors mediating virus infection may provide key insights into effective molecular targets for developing broadly acting antiviral therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2 and other deadly coronavirus strains. Here, Joseph Steward highlights key findings of recent research.
A new discovery about how cancer cells exchange contents with fibroblasts presents a new oncologic drug target, according to the researchers.
Researchers have identified an enzyme required for the formation of sperm and chromosomal pairing, which they say could be a target to treat male infertility.
By removing two kinds of macrophages in mice, researchers showed that ovarian tumours in mice were reduced in size and stopped spreading.
At the beginning of March, US President Donald Trump pressed the pharmaceutical industry to “accelerate the development” of vaccines and therapies to contain the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. This article explores what is currently known about COVID-19 and potential treatments that are in the pipeline.
Connected lab tools that digitally record each step researchers make, like Gilson’s TRACKMAN® Connected, help create traceable, centralised data.
A study has shown that plasmids use type IV CRISPR-Cas against competing plasmids, leading the researchers to suggest the method as a novel way to tackle multi-drug resistant bacteria.
DNA in the cytoplasm is an indicator of microbial infection, serving as a danger signal and resulting in induction of an innate immune response via the cyclic GAMP synthase (cGAS)/STING (Stimulator of INterferon-sensitive Genes) pathway.
Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies are proven and effective treatment options but many of the ‘low-hanging fruit’ therapeutics have already been identified.
Researchers have identified which SARS-CoV-2 proteins physically associate with proteins in human cells, revealing potential drug targets to treat the COVID-19 coronavirus.
A researcher has revealed that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) may increase the risk of severe lung complications in COVID-19.
