Senhwa’s Silmitasertib is an oral medication, targeting the host protein kinase CK2 (casein kinase 2), where virus mutations are unlikely to affect its anti-viral and anti-inflammatory efficacy. It is thought that Silmitasertib challenges the virus’ ability to replicate quickly and spread to nearby healthy cells.

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.

It’s worth noting that the approach of small molecules interacting with mRNA biology represents a relatively new and potentially broader and more effective strategy. For example, mRNA testing can offer deeper insights compared to DNA and give researchers a better understanding of gene expression in relation to certain cancers.

And unlike traditional DNA sequencers, which parse genetic material by breaking it up into fragments and interpreting it chunk-by-chunk, a nanopore device unspools a long strand of DNA and reads it all at once. A scientist can isolate DNA and load up a flow cell in fifteen minutes. Nanopore devices work incredibly fast.

In gene therapy, re-engineered adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors have been produced using various methods such as machine learning or directed evolution. Development of specific therapeutic DNA/RNA sequences is relatively straightforward so the biggest challenge is translating exogenous sequences into therapeutic drugs.
