Novel pharmaceutical discovery and development is an expensive, difficult, and inefficient process, primarily due to the lack of models that accurately present the appropriate condition or that ...

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy aim to destroy cancer cells by inducing DNA double-strand breaks—damage that, once inflicted, usually causes the cells to die. But damage to a cell's genetic material ...

While once considered taboo, magic mushrooms have recently experienced an increase in popularity and social acceptance. This renaissance partly stems from new findings about the impact of ...

Researchers of the Li Lab, led by Prof. Sijin Li, chemical and biomolecular engineering, recently developed a new yeast-based screening method to identify key enzymes that synthesize medicinal ...

Identifying this compound is an important step in that process. Whether chloronitramide anion will be linked to any cancers or has other adverse health risks will be assessed in future work by ...

Researchers at MIT and other institutions have identified compounds that can fight off viral infection by activating a defense pathway inside host cells. These compounds, they believe, could be used ...

Scientists have developed an automated workflow that could accelerate the discovery of new pharmaceutical drugs and other useful products. The new automated approach could analyze chemical reactions ...
