Researchers in Barcelona report progress in the use of 3D organoid technology to create an analogue of human colon cancer in a mouse model. The study, from the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB), shows that the hormone (transforming growth…
The latest release of Comsol Multiphysics makes it easier for simulation specialists to share their design and development work with production and testing colleagues, and runs up to five times as fast, says Comsol. Version 5.2 offers a fully integrated…
JUST DAYS after launching its TorchV10 molecular modelling software, Cresset has released a free version. Offering 3D molecular viewing, sketching, and editing, TorchV10lite is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The software works with 2D and 3D structures, displaying the…
MOLECULAR design on the desktop is the promise of TorchV10, described as a next-generation software tool for medicinal chemists. Offering molecule design and 3D SAR (structure-activity relationship) modelling, the package allows molecule properties to be visualised and modified easily, says…
TAP Biosystems is collaborating with scientists at the Open University (OU), in Milton Keynes, UK to produce robust 3D human central nervous system (CNS) tissue models for use in drug discovery and pre-clinical testing. The collaboration will run for three…
EARLIER this year, Optibrium and Cresset announced a ‘technology exchange’, which has now manifested in the first practical collaboration between the companies. The latest version of Optibrium’s compound identification software, StarDrop 5.2, includes a module to access Cresset’s 3D compound…
CAN YOU design a molecule biologically similar to, but not the same as, a specified reference compound? The task isn’t quite as easy as simply swapping an atom or two, as the newly-designed molecule must be synthetically tractable and drug-like,…
