AI-designed protein nanocages mimic viral assembly for drug delivery
1+ hour, 25+ min ago (540+ words) Protein nanocages have been growing as a research focus in recent years due to their potential as a platform for next-generation drug delivery systems. These hollow structures, which measure only nanometres in size, are formed when multiple proteins spontaneously bind…...
AI-designed miniproteins target GPCRs in drug discovery
1+ week, 1+ day ago (712+ words) GPCRs account for a significant proportion of approved drug targets, yet selectively controlling their activity remains a major challenge. Researchers have now used AI-assisted protein design to create miniproteins capable of activating or inhibiting these receptors, providing an alternative strategy…...
MYC protein found to repair DNA in cancer cells
1+ mon, 1+ day ago (652+ words) The oncogenic protein MYC, overactive in most human cancers, has been discovered to directly repair DNA damage in tumour cells, potentially explaining treatment resistance." A protein long associated with fuelling cancer growth has now been found to help damaged tumour…...
New framework evaluates AI reliability in immune system prediction
1+ mon, 1+ week ago (581+ words) A new University of South Florida study examines how AI models predict immune system responses to antigens, offering a framework to evaluate computational tools used in immunotherapy and vaccine development. Artificial intelligence is now a huge tool for scientists in…...
CD47 protein drives glioblastoma growth and invasion, study reveals new therapeutic targets
2+ mon, 3+ week ago (208+ words) University of Adelaide researchers have discovered that CD47, a protein known for helping cancer cells evade immune detection, also directly promotes glioblastoma growth and invasion through a novel molecular pathway involving ROBO2 stabilisation....
Why lower organisms matter for neurodegeneration drug discovery
1+ mon, 3+ week ago (603+ words) In the wake of recent government policy aimed at actively replacing animal models in drug discovery, we consider a possible solution to the translational shortfalls of current cellular methodologies for neurodegenerative disease. These drugs demonstrated plaque reduction in transgenic mouse…...
New strategy targets antibiotic resistance in cystic fibrosis
1+ mon, 3+ week ago (393+ words) Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have identified a new way to disable antimicrobial resistance in bacteria linked to cystic fibrosis, with potential to improve treatment of persistent infections. Antimicrobial resistance remains one of the most pressing global…...
Lipid nanoparticles deliver dual therapy for lung cancer
2+ mon, 1+ week ago (552+ words) Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a new technique that could change the way'lung cancer'is treated while simultaneously addressing a severe muscle-wasting condition often associated with the disease. The findings'describe how specially engineered lipid nanoparticles can deliver therapeutic genetic…...
AI to antibody in days: breaking the wet lab bottleneck via high-throughput integration
2+ mon, 1+ week ago (146+ words) The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in drug design has fundamentally shifted from a speculative tool to a central pillar of pharmaceutical research and development (R&D). Sino Biological plays a critical role in this evolving landscape by acting as an…...
From expert task to lab routine - Membrane protein purification and analysis simplified
2+ mon, 2+ week ago (507+ words) Membrane protein workflows are complex, but they do not have to be. Discover how detergent-free purification, automation and q PCR-based analysis improve reproducibility and simplify workflows. Membrane proteins play a central role in modern therapies, yet they remain among the…...
