Osaka University Nov 1 2024 New drug discovery is a critical step for improving patients' lives. First, researchers must identify molecules in the body's cells that help drive disease, as these are potential targets for new drugs. The next step is to screen candidate drugs that can hit those targets. However, screening can be a challenging and time-consuming process. In a new study published in Nature Communications , a team at Osaka University has developed a technology that streamlines drug
