FDA Makes Low-Risk Determination for Marketing of Products from Genome-Edited Beef Cattle After Safety Review

The Pharma Data

Decision Regarding Slick-Haired Cattle is Agency’s First Enforcement Discretion Decision for an Intentional Genomic Alteration in an Animal for Food Use. The IGA results in the equivalent genotype (genetic make-up) and short-hair coat trait seen in some conventionally bred cattle, known as a “slick” coat. Today, the U.S.

Why early participant engagement is now a top priority in genetic disease research

pharmaphorum

The DNA of these so-called ‘genetic superheroes’ may contain clues about how to treat severe disease. Fast forward to today and, while many large-scale genomics studies still lack the infrastructure and consent policies to enable recontact, this is starting to change. Giving participants something in return.

Evolution in Hepatitis B and C Virus: Can we expect success similar to Hepatitis C in Hepatitis B as well?

Delveinsight

Hepatitis C treatment options, without a doubt, have improved significantly, including pan-genotypic medications that are used to treat all genotypes and subtypes. Typically, pan-genotypic treatments have high cure rates, few side effects, and short treatment durations (usually 8–12 weeks). and GT2 and GT3 with ribavirin.
