Biologics – The Next Step in Revolutionary Medication

Roots Analysis

This can be attributed to the fact that the production of biopharmaceuticals requires living expression systems. Usually, the desired gene, such as human insulin gene, when inserted into the plasmid of the host cell uses transcriptional and translational machinery of the host to express itself.

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

Overview of Gene Switch The notion that genes might be turned on and off was discovered several decades ago when studies revealed that E. coli bacteria, as well as lambda bacteriophage, can adapt to the alterations in the composition of their nutrient medium.

Women in Science Who Have Paved the Way Forward in Genetics

XTalks

For example, British scientist Rosalind Franklin gained recognition for her work after her death, which is not unheard of, but with it came the revelation that her work, which helped demonstrate the double helical structure of DNA, went largely uncredited by famed DNA duo James Watson and Francis Crick.

CRISPR breakthroughs: New solutions for common diseases

Drug Discovery World

Rolf Turk , Senior Manager, Genomics Medicine at Integrated DNA Technologies, examines how CRISPR is being used to enhance cancer therapies. This can be achieved by the simultaneous knockout of endogenous TCR genes and the insertion of neoantigen-specific TCRs allowing cells to recognise specific mutations.

The future outlook for mRNA therapies

Drug Discovery World

Their functions such as carrying oxygen, providing structural support to cells, transmitting biological processes to cells, and fighting viruses and bacteria, are essential to human health. Rare diseases are largely treated using gene therapies which employ modified viruses to bring the therapy to the disease cells.
