ADCC and SARS-CoV-2 - how is their destiny linked?
Since its emergence in 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly spread to become the major health issue of the past two years. But it's also a research field of interest
Hepatocyte Pellets - why should you make the switch?
You may have heard about the patented CryostaX® format of hepatocyte pellets, but do you know why SEKISUI XenoTech and countless other researchers have made
MIT researchers uncover a possible new way to fight the tumors
A team of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have recently conducted a study regarding cancer immunotherapy. This field of science is dedicated to stimulating the
What is a clinical trial?
Clinical trials are the bedrock of medical research. They are conducted in distinct phases that we will detail in this article. But before clinical trials can even start, it is necessary to conduct preclinical
What type of Biological molecule is a DNA helicase?
There are several thousand types of different molecules in each cell (with some exceptions). These molecules are constantly changing and renewing themselves. Most of these molecules have a complex chemical
What is the role of ADME in drug discovery?
ADME is an abbreviation in pharmacokinetics (a branch of pharmacology that studies how substances act and remain in organisms) for “Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion”.
How are biomarkers used in the medical field?
If you search on the internet the words “biological markers” or “biomarkers”, numerous results appear on your screen. These biomarkers, used in various fields including ecology, eco-toxicology and medical
Immunotherapy for breast cancer: Types and effectiveness
Our body is made up of trillions of cells grouped together to form tissues and organs. The genes present in the nucleus of every cell tell it when to grow, work, divide and die.
Normally, our cells
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
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
