Research on the genome of the virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) has revealed an unusual molecular structure that looks like a promising target for antiviral drugs. A team of ...

“When Heptares formed, we chose to focus on GPCRs because we knew that targeting these receptors leads to drugs,” says Matt Barnes, president and head of R&D at Nxera Pharma. GPCRs are involved in a ...

AMES, Iowa – Edward Yu took note of the facts – nearly 2 million deaths each year, 9 million infected each year, developments of multidrug-resistant, extensively drug-resistant and now totally ...

Researchers at Scripps Research have redesigned fentanyl at the molecular level, challenging decades-old assumptions about ...

Drug development and production rely on stringent quality controls, reproducibility, and verification. Biopharmaceuticals, including protein-based therapies, require extensive characterization, ...

Researchers have investigated how cationic polymers organize on a molecular level when transporting RNA drugs. LMU researchers have investigated how cationic polymers organize on a molecular level ...

University of Southern California-led researchers have discovered the structural details of a brain receptor called GPR6, which could lead to new treatments for Parkinson's disease. GPR6 is an orphan ...

A recently identified bacterial protein, named BeeR, is contributing to the design of novel anticancer drug delivery systems. Researchers from King’s College London (UK) and the University of ...

CHICAGO — A big breakthrough in cancer research and it’s all due to a tiny structure. The science was developed in Chicago. They took an old drug and made it better. The restructured drug appears to ...
