Biologics – The Next Step in Revolutionary Medication

Roots Analysis

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. It is worth mentioning that in vitro gene expression requires a suitable host for the production of a specific gene product.

Rising Demand for DNA and Gene Cloning  Service Providers

Roots Analysis

DNA and Gene Cloning involves the isolation of a DNA sequence of any species ( often a gene ) and its insertion into a vector to enable growth without any alteration in the original DNA sequence. These clones can be manipulated and mutated in vitro to alter the expression and function of a protein.

Bacteriophage Therapy – A Revolutionary Approach Towards Multi-Resistant Bacteria

Roots Analysis

Bacteria plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecosystem balance. However, there are few species of bacteria that can cause several infectious diseases ( such as strep throat, salmonellosis, tuberculosis, whooping cough ). The overuse of antibiotics has resulted in the emergence of multi-drug-resistant bacteria.

The evolution of assays for immuno-oncology research

Drug Discovery World

The first such research dates back to 1891, when William Coley attempted to inject heat-inactivated bacteria to treat osteosarcoma. Cancer is a complex heterogenous multistep disease characterised by uncontrolled cell proliferation combined with a dysregulated immune response. This continues to be the standard of care.

Roche launches three respiratory test panels on cobas 6800/8800 Systems in CE markets to help identify multiple pathogens with overlapping symptoms in patients

The Pharma Data

Respiratory infections are caused by a good sort of pathogens, like influenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza viruses, metapneumovirus, rhinovirus, enterovirus, coronavirus and adenovirus, and other bacteria pathogens.

Analytical method to simplify the characterization of membrane proteins  

Drug Discovery World

However, while membrane proteins constitute approximately 20–30% of gene coding proteins 1 , integral membrane proteins such as transporters, ion channels, and GPCRs remain under-represented in the protein data bank (the PDB), a global repository for structural 2.
