The ChemDiv’s proprietary library of chemically diverse small molecule compounds was demonstrated to be a source of selective inhibitors targeting specific check points was found out in a recen...

Yueyan Li, Xuan Huang, Jing Tang from Fudan University, Shanghai reported rational design and discovery of novel small molecule inhibitors of ovarian cancer, targeting La-RNA interactions in collabora...

A complete response to the challenge of COVID-19 requires diagnosis, prevention, and treatment strategies. Until recently, the treatment ...

30% of people with cancer die from the exhaustion of the body - cachexia. Cachexia is associated with the inhibition of energy metabolism in adipose and muscle tissues. The tumor rebuilds the func...

Science has long been looking for the very feature that makes the human brain more unique than the brains of other mammals. Previously, this was not lucky: the general plan of the structure and the ce...

New delivery methods can further improve any drug. In this article, we will talk about patches with microneedles - they simplify any therapy. Inside the microneedles are medicine, but the needles are ...

Microtubules are rigid protein filaments that run through the inside of the cell. This is the main element of the cytoskeleton: microtubules separate chromosomes during cell division; coordinate the t...

Due to the nature of the CNS and the blood-brain barrier (BBB), many properties (both chemical and physical) of compounds aimed at CNS targets differ from those of so-called drug-like ...

The immune system recognizes and destroys all objects that seem foreign, and therefore potentially dangerous. Including immunity fights cancer cells: they mutate and no longer seem familiar to immune ...

Epigenetics is a growing and promising area of drug discovery research. To date, efforts in this direction have led to over 100 clinical candidates and seven FDA-approved drugs [1-2]. The main idea be...

To begin with, chemical compounds, as you may already know, are molecules consisting of two or more different chemical elements.
