Bioinformaticians have now developed a unique method with which all metabolites in a sample can be taken into account, thus considerably increasing the knowledge gained from examining such molecules.

A new non-addictive class of compounds developed by researchers at Purdue’s College of Pharmacy could lead to the treatment of chronic pain conditions, such as back pain and arthritis, in the absence ...

Researchers have shown, in mice, that a new class of compounds they developed can improve several aspects of metabolic syndrome. Such conditions often lead to cardiovascular disease, the leading cause ...

Potential pharmaceuticals are typically screened for toxicity with high-throughput assays that utilize cultured cell lines and simple endpoints like cell death or inhibition of cell proliferation.

Scientists at Uppsala University have discovered a new class of antibiotics with potent activity against multi-drug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria. The new compounds target a protein, LpxH, ...

In a groundbreaking move, a team of researchers from Australia has now developed a class of compounds able to block cancer cells’ activity on a seemingly permanent basis — without producing harmful ...
