From early research to quality control, maintaining analytical continuity is no easy task. Could a single sequencing workflow help simplify analytical assessment?
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.
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.
As drug developers pursue increasingly complex therapies, traditional bioanalytical approaches are being put to the test. How is the field adapting to meet these new demands?
What if the vast amounts of data generated by molecular dynamics simulations could be routinely shared and reused? A new €10 million European initiative aims to do just that, helping researchers gain a deeper understanding of protein behaviour and drug-target interactions.
Scientists at MD Anderson Cancer Center have revealed how ATRX mutations restructure chromatin and activate oncogenic developmental pathways in glioma, pointing towards novel therapeutic targets including the HOXA signalling axis.
A biomechanical well plate inspired by the pressure-sensing lateral line of fish can wirelessly monitor the pulse of multiple lab-grown cardiac organoids simultaneously, offering a scalable new platform for cardiovascular drug testing.
A commonly prescribed epilepsy drug has shown striking potential as a vaccine booster in a controlled human trial, more than doubling antibody levels and increasing T cell responses tenfold at a fraction of its standard therapeutic dose.
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.
