Scientists discover small RNA that regulates bacterial infection

The Pharma Data

Scientists discover small RNA that regulates bacterial infection People with weakened immune systems are at constant risk of infection. But the bacteria can sometimes change their behavior and enter the bloodstream, causing chronic localized infections to become acute and potentially fatal. aeruginosa infections.

Anti-tumor agent from the intestine

The Pharma Data

We are talking about the microbiome – the vast collection of bacteria in the human gut. The microbiome has been the focus of research for 20 years – ever since a new technique made it possible to analyse these bacteria quickly and precisely: high-throughput sequencing. The immune system is mentioned particularly frequently.

The future outlook for mRNA therapies

Drug Discovery World

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has come into focus within the drug discovery and development as an exciting tool to deliver genetic information. 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.

CRISPR breakthroughs: New solutions for common diseases

Drug Discovery World

Incorporating in vivo pooled CRISPR screens has allowed for the interrogation of thousands of genetic perturbations in cells, leading to the determination of the involvement of molecules (PTPN2, ADAR1, or DHX37) in immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) responsiveness and T cell activation.

My Hemochromatosis cb vsl | Blue Heron Health News

The Pharma Data

All too often, it is lifestyle factors – the things we do day to day – that determines whether a particular gene switches on to create actual illness. The scientific study of how to undo genetic illnesses – like HCT – is called epigenetics. It’s because certain genes act one way on some people… and another way on other people.
