Scientists develop a new non-opioid pain killer with fewer side effects
Scientists have found a promising new compound, benzyloxy-cyclopentyladenosine (BnOCPA), which has been shown to be a potent and selective pain killer in test model systems . BnOCPA is also selective in its action, and non-addictive, opening up the potential for the development of potent analgesics without side effects.
Pint of Science returns bringing Warwick scientists out of the lab and into your living room
The public science festival, Pint of Science, kicks off next week with experts from the University of Warwick talking about their research live in your living room.
Warwick scientists design model to predict cellular drug targets against Covid-19
A computational model of a human lung cell has been used to understand how SARS-CoV-2 draws on human host cell metabolism to reproduce by researchers at the University of Warwick. This study helps understand how the virus uses the host to survive, and enable drug predictions for treating the virus to be made.
An Artificial Intelligence algorithm can learn the laws of quantum mechanics
Artificial Intelligence can be used to predict molecular wave functions and the electronic properties of molecules. This innovative AI method developed by a team of researchers at the University of Warwick, the Technical University of Berlin and the University of Luxembourg, could be used to speed-up the design of drug molecules or new materials.
Nano drops a million times smaller than a teardrop explodes 19th century theory
Droplets emanating from a molecular “nano-tap” would behave very differently from those from a household tap 1 million times larger - researchers at the University of Warwick have found. This is potentially crucial step for a number of emerging nano technologies, e.g., manufacture of nano-sized drug particles, lab-on-chip devices for in situ diagnostics, and 3D printers capable of nanoscale resolution.
First ever study of serious case reviews of sudden unexpected infant deaths conducted
For the first time in England a study has been conducted of official investigations of unexpected infant deaths.
