US researchers decipher how one gut bacterium influences immunity

Drug Discovery World

But with hundreds of bacterial species populating our gastrointestinal tract, it’s a daunting task to pinpoint which molecules made by which bacteria affect which biological processes—and how they do so. Such knowledge is essential for learning how to manipulate gut bacteria to treat or prevent illness.

The future of genomic medicine: can it fulfil its promises?

pharmaphorum

Here he gives us a deeper look at how genomic medicine is evolving and the barriers that are preventing it from reaching its full potential. I saw this, in particular, with the finishing of the human genome,” says Charlie. “At In reality, finishing the human genome was the first step of what is a long journey.”.

Improving quality control for CAR T cell therapies

Drug Discovery World

The immune system typically identifies foreign entities such as bacteria and viruses and activates lymphocytes such as T cells to destroy them with overwhelming force. To overcome this evasion tactic, the CAR protein was developed to recognise other markers on cancer cells. Identifying the right CAR T cell target.
