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.

UNC team discovers interactions vital for hepatitis A virus replication

Pharmaceutical Technology

Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine have discovered that hepatitis A virus (HAV) replication needs particular interactions between the human protein ZCCHC14 and TENT4 poly(A) polymerases, a group of enzymes. In addition, the scientists later found that the HAV needs TENT4A/B for its replication.

New strategy for COVID-19 prophylaxis?

The Pharma Data

The virus carries the information to produce a series of proteins, capable of inhibiting antiviral recognition systems of the infected cell. Actually, these systems could identify viral genetic material (here: Ribonucleic acids/RNAs) and sound the alarm. For example, viral RNAs are masked by the addition of a methyl group.
