Scientists discover small RNA that regulates bacterial infection

The Pharma Data

But the bacteria can sometimes change their behavior and enter the bloodstream, causing chronic localized infections to become acute and potentially fatal. However, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have identified the major mechanism behind the transition between chronic and acute P. aeruginosa infections.

Gene Therapy and Pharmacokinetics

Camargo

The technology of gene therapy is possible due to extensive DNA research and our resulting understanding of many diseases on the genetic level, and it encompasses several mechanisms such as introducing new genes (gene addition) and inactivating or replacing mutated genes (gene editing).

The future outlook for mRNA therapies

Drug Discovery World

Whilst research into mRNA has been ongoing for decade, interest has sparked in recent years and research has begun to expand into areas of vaccinology, infectious diseases and other indications. Its job is to carry coding information that is essential to the translation and processing of functional proteins.

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

Much of the fundamental groundwork for genetics and genomic research was laid in the 20 th century, with significant contributions from women scientists, some of whom worked during times when acceptance of female researchers was not widespread. Here is a profile of some of those brilliant women who helped shape genetics research.

CRISPR breakthroughs: New solutions for common diseases

Drug Discovery World

Since its discovery in 2012, CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) technology has revolutionised the biomedicine and cell and gene therapy fields, providing a versatile tool for precise and efficient genome editing. Herpesviridae, Polyomaviridae, and Papillomaviridae), bacteria (e.g.,

2020 Year in Review: COVID-19, CRISPR and Immunotherapies Define the Year for the Life Sciences

XTalks

The novel coronavirus behind the pneumonia-like disease was first isolated by Chinese researchers in early January and its genomic sequence was released on January 10. Researchers isolated the virus from nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal samples from the infected patient and characterized its sequence and replication properties.
