What Biology Can Learn from Physics

Codon

Predictive Models A “ sequence-to-function ” predictive model – an algorithm that determines a protein’s likely function solely by looking at the DNA sequence encoding it – is the natural successor to AlphaFold2. A predictive model for sequence-to-expression would raise the “hit” rates.

The Future of Drug Discovery: Tackling the Undruggable with New Biotechnologies

DrugBank

This is a game-changer, especially in the fight against cancer and other complex diseases. These multifunctional small molecules are like tiny spies, hijacking the body’s natural protein degradation system to remove unwanted proteins. This can potentially correct the root causes of some diseases at the genetic level.

CRISPR and single-cell sequencing highlight genetic variants for traits and diseases

Drug Target Review

These studies are conducted by comparing the genomes of large populations to find variants that occur more often in those with a specific disease or trait.

Radioligand therapy pipeline with in-license for compounds targeting Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP)

The Pharma Data

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a cell-surface protein expressed at low levels in most normal adult tissues, but over-expressed in common cancers, particularly on cancer-associated fibroblasts that form the tumor stroma, which is essential for growth 1 ,2 ,3 ,4.

Five Promising Treatment Areas in Early-Phase Drug Development in 2024

Alta Sciences

Gene Therapy Gene therapy is currently considered for diseases, often rare, that have no other cures. Several viral vectors are being used currently, in addition to non-viral vectors, such as oligonucleotides, naked DNA, and lipoplexes and polyplexes.
