ADCs Pipeline Update: Avacta Partners with ADC Therapeutics

Roots Analysis

What are Affimers : Affimers are small proteins that target and bind molecules on cellular surfaces in a manner analogous to monoclonal antibodies. In nature, they are made by a group of bacteria known as actinomycetes. The key difference is that affimers are optimized to enhance their structural stability.

Research Roundup: Blood Test for Severe COVID-19 and More

The Pharma Data

The test valuates mitochondrial DNA levels. When mitochondrial DNA, normally found inside cells, in the mitochondria, spills into the bloodstream, it signals that a particular type of violent cell death is occurring. They measured the patients’ mitochondrial DNA levels on the first day of their hospital stays. and William E.
