The study used virtual screening and cell-based assays to identify potential inhibitors targeting the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of Foot-and-mouth disease virus, and identified four compounds with antiviral activity. [Read the Full Post]

A large-scale functional analysis of genes expressed differentially in insulin secreting MIN6 sublines with high versus mildly reduced glucose-responsiveness

43 views | May 01 2023

This study identified 18 genes that altered glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in pancreatic β-cells, and confirmed Sox11 as a negative regulator of insulin secretion and its role in glucose metabolism. [Read the Full Post]

Safety and efficacy of WC2031 versus vibramycin for the treatment of uncomplicated urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis infection: a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, multicenter trial

42 views | Apr 23 2023

The study found that a once-daily, delayed-release formulation of doxycycline hyclate (WC2031) was noninferior to twice-daily Vibramycin for the treatment of uncomplicated urogenital chlamydia and was better tolerated, with comparable safety. [Read the Full Post]
