Scientists have discovered that approved antidepressant drugs cause immune cells to recognise and eliminate tumour cells in mouse models.
Despite the rapid deployment of vaccines among global populations, therapeutics such as antibodies are still required. Here, Dr Steve Carroll, Vice President of Pre-clinical Sciences at IGM Biosciences, explains how a potential Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody treatment has been developed that shows promise for combatting SARS-CoV-2 and variants of concern in pre‑clinical…
MEPs have requested that the EU adopts new plans to phase out the use of animals in scientific research and testing, focusing on alternatives instead.
Dr Ronald G Crystal, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Genetic Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College, spoke to Drug Target Review’s Victoria Rees about his research into Alzheimer’s disease and why gene therapies represent a promising area of research for neurodegenerative conditions.
Photobiomodulation therapy was shown to heal burn injuries faster by triggering the growth protein TGF-beta 1 in mice, potentially improving treatments.
A team of scientists has found that a type of cell derived from human stem cells and widely used for brain research and drug development may have been leading researchers astray for years. Here, Dr Raphaël Lis from Weill Cornell Medicine explains how forcing the activity of three known endothelial cell transcription…
In mice and hamsters, therapies made from two antibodies were found to be mostly effective against a range of SARS-CoV-2 variants.
Lung spheroid cells can act as nanodecoys for the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein to bind to, according to a new pre-clinical study.
A new radiopharmaceutical compound has shown success at treating ovarian cancer in mice and in vitro studies.
In pre-clinical studies, senolytic drugs were found to reduce inflammation and death from COVID-19 in older mice.
Scientists have developed an implant that releases insulin-secreting cells which has shown success at treating diabetes in mice.
Tabernanthalog (TBG), similar to the psychedelic drug ibogaine, corrected stress-induced behavioural deficits in mice.
A new gene therapy that introduced SynCav1 to the brains of Alzheimer's mouse models was shown to preserve neuronal and synaptic plasticity.
Four hepatitis C drugs have demonstrated promise as boosters to increase the efficacy of remdesivir against SARS-CoV-2 by as much as tenfold.
