Researchers at the University of Dundee have revealed in the greatest detail yet the workings of molecules called ‘protein degraders’ which can be deployed to combat what have previously been regarded as ‘undruggable’ diseases, including cancers and neurodegenerative diseases. Protein degrader molecules are heralding a revolution in drug discovery, with more than 50 drugs of […]
For WP’s Department of Data, Kati Perry and Adrián Blanco examine campaign spending through the lens of restaurant and cuisine preferences between political parties: [W]e wanted to wrap our arms around a bigger question: where the campaigns spend the most money.
