Computer modeling finds the most promising compounds and guides their transformation into drugs.

ISPE members represent a rich and diverse source of expertise for improving regulation and guidance documents. Through its commenting activity, ISPE leverages this expertise for maximum benefit to industry, regulators and patients.

Where city dwellers see rectangles, people who live in round huts see circles

Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/S) and the Future of Global Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Standards OversightOn the opening morning of the 2025 ISPE Europe Annual Conference in London, United Kingdom, Ian Jackson offered an inside look at the PIC/S, a collaboration of 56 health authorities that works to harmonize GMP standards and inspections. Jackson is an expert GMP inspector with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and is eligible to be named

To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by combining neurons, astrocytes, and microglia, all derived…

For nearly a century, scientists have been trying to understand why many animals live longer, healthier lives when they have less to eat. Now, work led by Sheng-Cai Lin, Chen-Song Zhang, and Xianming Deng of Xiamen University in China links the…

Theresa Mullin, PhD, Associate Director for Strategic Initiatives at the US Food and Drug Administration’s (US FDA) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), opened the 2024 ISPE Meeting & Expo in Orlando, Florida, USA with a keynote

On 16 October at the 2024 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo in Orlando, Florida, USA, Emer Cooke, European Medicines Agency (EMA) Executive Director and chair of the International Coalition of Medicines Regulation Authorities (ICMRA), discussed innovation

Of the 20,000+ human genes, none has greater influence on late-onset Alzheimer’s disease than APOE. But why do certain variants of this lipid transporter protect the brain, while others endanger it? A suite of experiments published in the November 7…

Long a subject of fascination for ornithologists, researchers recently confirmed that cavity nesters use shed skins as a deterrent.

With explosive blasts of pollen, male Hypenia macrantha flowers remove rival pollen from hummingbird beaks before the birds reach female flowers.

In recent years, CryoEM has enabled scientists to decipher the structures of the fibrils that form various deposits in neurodegenerative disease. They have not only solved disease-specific folding structures for fibrils of Aβ, tau, TDP-43, TMEM106b,…

The body’s own heparin-like molecules include heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs), which serve a wide range of functions in cell membranes and the extracellular matrix. HSPGs bind two proteins implicated in AD: ApoE and tau (Holmes et al., 2013;…

Some flowers may be using their pollinators as sexual battlegrounds. Red, Brazilian flowers called Hypenea macrantha use projectile blasts of pollen to knock rival pollen off of hummingbirds’ beaks and replace it with their own, researchers report in…
