New cancer treatment may reawaken the immune system
Cancer is a disease caused by abnormal cell growth. The cells’ genetic material is corrupted and the metabolic processes do not interact well with them anymore. They grow unchecked, mostly in the form
How to select a good CRO company?
When it comes to clinical research, certain necessary functions may be managed by an outsourced partner, such as a central laboratory or a contract research organisation.
As the drug discovery process
What is the future of mRNA based therapeutics, and their main challenges?
mRNA is a ribonucleic acid used by cells as an intermediate carrier of the genetic information contained in the DNA to synthesize proteins, and corresponds to the copy of one of the two strands of DNA.
Senescent cells prevent muscle regeneration
Senescence atlas reveals an aged-like inflamed niche that blunts muscle regeneration
In their latest publication in Nature, Dr. Moiseeva et.al., studied cellular senescence in skeletal
Why are certain drugs called enzyme inhibitors?
Our bodies’ normal functioning relies on chemical reactions (for instance, the conversion of food into energy or the replenishment of cells in tissue, like in muscles or organs). These biochemical reactions
How can CRISPR/Cas9 be used to edit genomes?
Genes are key components of our lives. With many other factors, they contribute to shaping us, making people and any other living organism what they are. Genomes, whether human or not, are able
Interferon: Long-Term Side Effects
Interferons (abbreviated IFN) are glycoproteins of the cytokine family (signalling molecules controlling the immune system). They were discovered in 1957 by Isaacs and Lindenmann, who noticed
What is the benefit of outsourcing to a CRO company?
Contract Research Organizations (CRO) are companies that offer services to perform one or more of a sponsor’s trial-related duties and functions throughout the entire clinical research process.
