Condensate biology: advancing drug discovery for complex diseases

Drug Target Review

The company developed methods to identify disease-driving condensates, model them, and create systems for effective drug discovery targeting these condensates. The aim is to establish condensate biology as a fundamental branch of cell biology – “cell biology 2.0”

Q&A: How generative AI could help accelerate biomedical research

Broad Institute

At the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, a group of researchers, software engineers, administrators, and communicators (yes, us) has been exploring the use of these chatbots and similar tools, surveying the community and developing recommendations. Can generative AI be useful for hypothesis generation?

Obstacles and innovations of macrocyclic drug development

Drug Target Review

Researchers have shown that cell permeability can be improved by designing macrocyclic peptides whose structure includes amide (NH) groups that are engaged in internal hydrogen bonding interactions. 12 Ring bridging strategies have also been effective in addressing permeability, as seen with MK-0616.

Teaching immune cells how to kill

SugarCone Biotech

Learnings regarding immune geography and cell:cell contact are increasingly important as we consider how best to advance cell therapies for diverse hematologic malignancies and solid tumors ( www.aletabio.com ). This was an interesting finding and one that I think remains under-appreciated by the immuno-oncology drug development field.
