91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ

The 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ’s research commercialisation wing, Warwick Innovations, has signed a contract with agronomy specialist Agrii to promote the commercial production of UK haricot beans developed by scientists at the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ.

An international team of scientists working at the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ, UK, and Monash University, Australia, have determined the molecular basis of a biological mechanism that could enable more efficient and cost-effective production of existing antibiotics, and also allow scientists to uncover new antibiotics in soil bacteria.

Warwick joins forces with leading UK universities to focus agricultural research where it can make most difference on the ground

Researchers at the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ have uncovered the mechanism that allows plants to pass on their ‘memories’ to offspring, which results in growth and developmental defects.

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 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ. This study helps understand how the virus uses the host to survive, and enable drug predictions for treating the virus to be made.

· A hallmark of Parkinson's disease is the degeneration of a group of neurons in the brain that release the neurotransmitter dopamine (dopaminergic neurons).  By introducing low concentrations of structurally-defined aggregates of alpha synuclein, a key toxic species in Parkinson’s disease, into single dopaminergic neurons, researchers from the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ have shown these protein aggregates open a specific channel in the cell membrane, reducing neuronal excitability. Furthermore they’ve shown that this can be partially prevented by pre-application of the commonly used anti-diabetic drug, glibenclamide.
