Researchers suggest a major hurdle to identifying new efficacious drugs is the paucity of models for cancer research that accurately represent patient tumors. They now provide a perspective on strategies for developing better models to help personalize cancer care.

Scientists have succeeded in demonstrating anticancer and antibacterial effects of red yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, isolated from a deep-sea sediment sample from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge

Chemists have demonstrated the value of “teamwork” by successfully harnessing the interaction between two gallium atoms in a novel compound to split the particularly strong bond between fluorine and carbon.

A new study shows that humans express a powerful hormone during exercise and that treating mice with the hormone improves physical performance, capacity and fitness. Researchers say the findings present new possibilities for addressing age-related physical decline.

Researchers have developed a targeted approach to myeloma treatment – silencing IRF4, a gene that allows myeloma stem cells and tumor cells to proliferate and survive.

Researchers have developed a mathematical model of SARS-CoV-2 infection that reveals a key role for the innate immune system in controlling viral load.

Results from a small pilot study indicate that the early administration of ivermectin can reduce viral loads and symptom duration in patients with mild COVID-19.

Researchers have developed a novel method to see, at a single-cell/organelle level, how drugs induce cancer cell death.

Using computer simulations built on reasonable assumptions and conducted under careful control, computational bioscientists can mimic real biological conditions. Starting with the original founding population (ancient phase), they can evolve the population over several thousand generations to develop an intermediate phase, and then evolve that generation another several thousand generations to develop a derived phase.

Images of a protein involved in creating a potent antibiotic reveal key steps involved in the antibiotic’s synthesis. This understanding could enable researchers to adapt this compound as well as similar compounds for use in human medicine.
