Screening a class of recently-developed drug compounds -- so-called "CDK inhibitors" capable of blocking CDK7/12/13 proteins -- against hundreds of different human cancer cell lines, researchers have found that CDK12 inhibitors pack a particularly lethal punch to Ewing sarcoma.

Research showed valproic acid exposure resulted in phenotypes and behaviors consistent with autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, and validated zebrafish as a model for studying ASD and its causes.

Prud’homme’s technology for encasing medicine in ultra-small particles had already led to new drug delivery approaches for high-value medical applications. The same process can now be adapted for large, continuous manufacturing.

Methane in shale gas can be turned into hydrocarbon fuels using an innovative platinum and copper alloy catalyst, according to new research led by UCL (University College London) and Tufts University.

MIT spinout Zaiput Flow Technologies launched a novel continuous-flow liquid-liquid separator that makes those processes faster, easier, and more efficient. Having proved its efficacy on Earth, the separator is now being tested as a tool for manufacturing drugs and synthesizing chemicals in outer space.

Associate Professor Timothy Noël from the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is awarded the DECHEMA Prize 2017 in recognition of his pioneering work on continuous photochemical conversion in microfluidic systems.

The acquisition of Selcia provides Eurofins with an entry into the custom radiolabelling and innovative pre-clinical, integrated drug discovery services markets.

Synergies with Spectris’ molecular testing and analysis expertise will provide customers with access to a broader range of services.

Study in fruit flies sheds light on key aspect of development; findings could build understanding of comparable system in people.

The findings may lead to brighter cell biology with new classes of fluorescent markers.
