What Innovative Treatments For Metastatic Breast Cancer are being developed?

Find Me Cure

CDK4/6 inhibitors are used alongside hormone therapy. HER2 is a protein that plays an important role in cancer cell growth and is found on the surface of cancer cells in a very high quantity in about 10-20% of breast cancers. An enzyme involved in DNA repair can be the key to making chemotherapy more effective.

Statement from Pfizer Chairman and CEO Albert Bourla on Testing Positive for COVID-19

Pfizer

Nirmatrelvir is designed to inhibit viral replication at a stage known as proteolysis, which occurs before viral RNA replication. In preclinical studies, nirmatrelvir did not demonstrate evidence of mutagenic DNA interactions. Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein inhibitor: lomitapide. Immunosuppressants: voclosporin.

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

Further, the expression of any gene is dependent on the rate at which it is transcribed into mRNA and translated into proteins. There are various regulatory proteins or transcription factors that are responsible for affecting the transcription rate. When activator binds to the operon, it either speeds up or permits gene expression.
