Where is the promise for plant-based medicines? Part 3 

Drug Discovery World

In the third and final part of this series of articles focused on plant-based medicines, DDW’s Megan Thomas evaluates therapeutic breakthroughs using plant-based products in drug discovery. In this study, researchers discovered how EGCG breaks apart tangles of the protein tau, a ‘hallmark’ of Alzheimer’s disease.

New research will allow convenient investigation of human innate immune response to viral infections

Scienmag

(Boston)–Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) report the formation of human cells containing a green fluorescent protein or GFP (one of the most important proteins in biology and fluorescence imaging) genetically fused with two interferon stimulated genes (ISGs), namely Viperin and ISG15.

The democratisation of cell and gene therapy

Drug Discovery World

He says: “What we are seeing from a molecular biology perspective is that the genetic material that we want to pack into viral vectors is becoming increasingly complicated. We are now looking at larger plasmid DNA sequences to carry more genetic material, and so we can get a more delicate endpoint with a much larger plasmid DNA sequence.

Folding of SARS-CoV2 genome reveals drug targets — and preparation for ‘SARS-CoV3’

Scienmag

Scientists at Goethe University within the international consortium COVID19-NMR refine previous 2D models The genetic code of the SARS-CoV2 virus is exactly 29,902 characters long, strung through a long RNA molecule. It contains the information for the production of 27 proteins.
