What spatial biology can tell us about disease and drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

Analysing spatial changes during disease progression or treatment response is key to fully understand pathologies. RA: With spatial biology being cross-disciplinary – in that it uses techniques in both gene expression analysis and immunofluorescence – is expertise in the field limited?

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

Gene editing tools such as zinc finger nucleases, transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) nucleases have been heralded for their enormous potential to treat diseases and genetic disorders. In one example, Choi et al.

Clinical Catch-Up: December 21-25 | BioSpace

The Pharma Data

Galidesivir is a broad-spectrum antiviral, an adenosine nucleoside analog that blocks viral RNA polymerase. STP705 is a small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapy that leverages a dual-targeted inhibitory property and polypeptide nanoparticle (PNP)-enhanced delivery to knock down both TGF-beta1 and COX-2 gene expression.
