Many antibody therapies fail to reach all cancer cells within solid tumours. Researchers have developed a spatial biology technique that maps antibody distribution alongside the tumour microenvironment to investigate why.
Historical toxicology data is often underused. Find out how Virtual Control Groups and AI could help researchers strengthen safety assessment while making better use of existing data.
How can human biology data improve target selection? Learn how one discovery programme identified a potential new treatment for opioid use disorder.
In part II of his conversation with Dr Nick Lynch, founder of Curlew Research, Raminderpal Singh asks the uncomfortable questions that we may not yet be equipped to answer – or ready to face.
A landmark genome-wide study of more than 2.5 million adults has identified 26 genomic regions linked to fibromyalgia, confirming a neurological basis for the condition and opening new avenues for targeted drug discovery.
Researchers have identified two previously unknown mechanisms by which doxycycline inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, findings that could inform the design of next-generation antibiotics against drug-resistant pathogens.
A new review examines how physical, bioengineered and biomimetic delivery platforms that bypass conventional endocytic uptake pathways could transform the clinical development of gene therapies, mRNA treatments and protein-based medicines.
Researchers have uncovered how cells sense amino acids and activate the mTORC1 growth pathway, identifying LARS1 phosphorylation as a critical upstream switch with implications for more precise cancer drug development.
One receptor can protect antibodies from degradation, extend their half-life and become a drug target itself. Explore the science behind FcRn and how researchers measure its function.
Static cultures can miss critical immune–tumour interactions. Learn how the Mera™ flow-based human tissue model better captures T-cell activity to strengthen preclinical immunotherapy research.
Non-animal methods are already used throughout early drug discovery, yet animal testing continues to dominate regulatory safety assessment. Recent initiatives suggest change is coming, but significant scientific and practical challenges remain.
