New research shows smallpox vaccine trains T cells to recognize mpox
Scientists from the La Jolla Institute for Immunology have found new evidence that the vaccinia vaccine MVA-BN (brand name JYNNEOS) can train virus-fighting T cells to recognize the monkeypox (mpox) virus. Read More
Study offers researchers more reliable way to design effective CELMoD drugs
Scripps Research scientists have discovered a key property needed for a promising new class of cancer-fighting drugs -- known as Cereblon E3 Ligase Modulating Drugs (CELMoDs) -- to work effectively as protein degraders. Read More
Challenge to textbook model of GPCR-mediated signaling opens door to new therapies
University of California, San Diego researchers have challenged the textbook model of how G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate signaling in a study that could change how drugs against widely pursued targets are developed, including multiple forms of cancer. Read More
EGFR-targeting cell penetrating peptide treats triple-negative breast cancer in mice
A cell penetrating peptide designed to mimic an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) binding domain has induced tumor regression in mice, opening up a new avenue of research into the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer. Read More
Unlocking New Research Frontiers with Ultra-Sensitive Epigenomics
On-Demand Webinar -- By using a novel in situ strategy that enables unprecedented mapping sensitivity and simplified workflows, CUT&RUN and CUT&Tag are creating a paradigm shift in epigenomics research. Andrea Johnstone, PhD, senior director for product development at EpiCypher, illustrates how these scalable technologies unlock the full potential of epigenomics for next-generation chromatin studies.
