Antibody-drug conjugates payloads: then, now and next

Drug Target Review

2 In response, DNA-damaging agents that could target the entire cell cycle received renewed attention as ADC payloads. Groundbreaking strategies like proteolysis-targeting chimeric molecules (PROTACs) are also being explored. 4 But the horizon of ADCs is expanding even further, with the design of complex payloads.

Allison Berke makes the case for real-time DNA sequencing and AI tools to detect pathogens before they spread widely. Reading DNA The first step in detecting a novel pathogen is recognizing it as an anomaly amidst a noisy background of other material. After copying the DNA to form a big pool, each piece is sequenced.

Experiments performed with the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae not only led to the discovery of DNA as the principal hereditary molecule but also yielded early tools for genetic engineering. Proteins designed by David Baker’s laboratory, 2003-2023. After all, how could a protein replicate without DNA or RNA?
