Tech Focus: How is HTS accelerating early-stage drug discovery?

Drug Discovery World

For example, multiple RNA helicases are being targeted for cancer and viral infections before their catalytic properties are well understood. The Olink NPX Explore HT software can perform QC analysis and deliver Normalized Protein eXpression (NPX) values and raw data counts.

The Future of Drug Discovery: Tackling the Undruggable with New Biotechnologies

DrugBank

These multifunctional small molecules are like tiny spies, hijacking the body’s natural protein degradation system to remove unwanted proteins. Similarly, PROTACs can target and degrade overexpressed proteins, offering a way to overcome drug resistance, a common issue in cancer treatment.

Present Treatments & Hopeful Future Directions for ALS Pharmacotherapies

Conversations in Drug Development Trends

This approach is facilitated by developing ASOs and RNA interference (RNAi) therapies, which target the various molecular and genetic mechanisms contributing to ALS pathophysiology and disease progression. However, work is needed before CRISPR-mediated treatments become possible, including a better understanding of the genes involved in ALS.

Five Promising Treatment Areas in Early-Phase Drug Development in 2024

Alta Sciences

Oligonucleotide-Based Techniques Most oligonucleotide therapies act through antisense mechanisms and are directed against various RNA species. They work by binding to specific sequences of nucleotides present within the mRNA structure and can induce mechanisms that either decrease, restore, or modify protein expression.
