Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and University College London in the UK have found how air pollution can trigger the activation of cells with existing genetic mutations to form cancer. In fact, one in every 600,000 cells in the lungs of a 50-year-old already contains potentially cancerous mutations. The Double Hit.

Alnylam Pharma has made a name for itself, developing gene-silencing therapies for rare disorders, but its latest discovery could take it into a much larger category – metabolic and cardiovascular disease. Transgenic mice in which the gene has been deleted have improved control of blood glucose and insulin sensitivity.

The UK biobank released a further dataset on COVID-19 positive patients consisting of ~4,000 confirmed COVID-19 infected patients in November 2020. As previously outlined, Genetic Technologies established the Germline Testing division following the strategic decision to offer hereditary testing for inherited cancer.

While some biobanks ( especially non-clinical ones ) use mechanical freezers for storage, liquid nitrogen is one of the most reliable cryostorage mediums. Due to the infrastructure available for processing, freezing and storing of these container systems, blood bags are the preferred container for cell therapy biopreservation.
