News for drugs

Special receptors on our cells can take up to 100 days to cleave themselves – far too slow to function properly. Researchers at Leipzig University have now discovered why this happens – and how it can be changed. Their findings could pave the way for new drugs to treat cancer and neurological diseases.

25 cannabis cultivation clubs approved in Saxony

Molecules in the body that could help millions

Thousands of molecules are located in our cells and control how the body reacts to stimuli. Some of them are still barely known to researchers, although they are involved in cancer, heart disease and bone loss. Researchers at Leipzig University have now pooled 30 years of knowledge about these molecules in a study. They want to make new drugs possible. | more

How our heart processes signals: New insights into living cells

Researchers at Leipzig University have developed a new method to observe important signal receptors in cells live. Using tiny luminous molecules, they have shown for the first time in living cells how a receptor that helps control heart function works. The discovery: these receptors are not simple switches, but take on different forms depending on the active ingredient. This could enable the development of drugs with fewer side effects. | more
