Leading innovators in transcription factors for genetically modified cells for the pharmaceutical industry

Pharmaceutical Technology

In the last three years alone, there have been over 633,000 patents filed and granted in the pharmaceutical industry, according to GlobalData’s report on Innovation in Pharmaceuticals: Transcription factors for genetically modified cells. However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend.

Researchers Discover Genetic Errors and Rogue Antibodies in Cases of Severe COVID-19 Infection

XTalks

The research shows that the activity of the immune messenger type 1 interferon (IFN) protein is diminished, either by genetic mutations or an autoimmune attack by neutralizing antibodies against it, in a subset of COVID-19 patients. According to the study, patients had auto-antibodies against IFN-? (13 We said, ‘bingo!’”

The democratisation of cell and gene therapy

Drug Discovery World

He says: “If you compare that with what’s happening within the monoclonal antibody space, for instance, everybody’s got standardised processes with standardised equipment. DNA purification “Plasmid DNA is an incredibly important part of molecular biology”, says Hummersone. That’s not the case in CGT.”

DNA DATA STORAGE: RESEARCH LANDSCAPE AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

Roots Analysis

DNA data storage involves encoding and decoding binary data to and from synthesized strands of DNA. DNA data storage is an innovative technology that works by encoding large digital data sequences of binary form (0s and 1s) into DNA sequences (Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T)). DNA Storage.

Leading innovators in transcription factors for AAV for the pharmaceutical industry

Pharmaceutical Technology

Within the emerging innovation stage, cell therapy for ocular disorders, coronavirus vaccine components, and DNA polymerase compositions are disruptive technologies that are in the early stages of application and should be tracked closely. There are two main genes in the AAV genome, rep and cap, which encode nine different proteins.
