Research reveals therapeutic potential of mRNA in rare diseases

Drug Discovery World

Researchers have used messenger RNA (mRNA) to create an effective therapy for a rare liver disease in preclinical studies, demonstrating the technology’s potential therapeutic use in people. Patients affected by the disease are found to also experience an imbalance of glutathione regulation, which is important for liver detoxification.

Targeting a human protein may stop Ebola virus in its tracks

The Pharma Data

To treat Ebola virus infections, researchers are taking a close look at a key piece of the virus: polymerase. Polymerase is a viral protein that directs how Ebola virus replicates its genome as it infects new hosts. The researchers discovered that Ebola virus polymerase hijacks a cellular protein called GSPT1.

Study reveals impact of cancer cell size on treatment response

Drug Discovery World

Cancer cells can shrink or super-size themselves to survive drug treatment or other challenges within their environment, researchers have discovered. Study leader Professor Chris Bakal, Professor of Cancer Morphodynamics at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, said: “We think our research has real diagnostic potential.
