Targeted tumors attack not-innocent bystanders

July 16, 2021

Antibody-drug conjugates developed are found to attack not only targeted tumor cells but also nontargeted “bystanders.”

Scientists at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine are using pClick conjugation to create therapeutic antibodies that target bone cancers. The conjugate incorporates bisphosphonate molecules that bind to the bone hydroxyapatite matrix. (Credit: Baylor College of Medicine/Rice University)

Drug doubles down on bone cancer, metastasis

July 16, 2021

Researchers at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine develop an antibody conjugate called BonTarg that delivers drugs to bone tumors and inhibits metastasis.

Julian West

NIH grant will help streamline chemical synthesis

July 5, 2021

Rice University chemist Julian West has won a five-year, $1.8 million National Institutes of Health grant to advance his lab’s efforts to simplify the synthesis of organic chemicals.

Rice University synthetic chemists have simplified the process to make halichondrin B, top, the parent compound of the successful cancer drug eribulin, bottom. Their reverse synthesis reduced the number of steps required to make the natural product. (Credit: Jenna Kripal/Nicolaou Research Group)

Reversal speeds creation of important molecule

June 29, 2021

A Rice lab’s reverse approach to making halichondrin B is the shortest route to a “rather complex and important molecule."

Quantum dots keep atoms spaced to boost catalysis

June 24, 2021

Rice engineers use graphene quantum dots to trap transition metals for high atom loading in single atom catalysis.

Rice University scientists have enhanced models that could detect magnetosphere activity on exoplanets. The models add data from nightside activity that could increase signals by at least an order of magnitude. In this illustration, the planet’s star is at top left, and the rainbow patches are the radio emission intensities, most coming from the nightside. The white lines are magnetic field lines.

Nightside radio could help reveal exoplanet details

June 22, 2021

Rice scientists enhance models that could be used to detect magnetosphere activity on exoplanets. The Rice model adds data from nightside activity that could increase signals by at least an order of magnitude.
