Phages could help to tackle antimicrobial resistance

Drug Target Review

Phage have been of interest to scientists as tools to understand fundamental molecular biology, as vectors of horizontal gene transfer and drivers of bacterial evolution, as sources of diagnostic and genetic tools, and as novel therapeutic agents. In bacteria , cGAS-like cyclases are central parts of the CBASS immune response.

Unlocking Undruggable Targets: Shifting Paradigms in Modern Drug Discovery

DrugBank

But as molecular biology has advanced, so too has our approach to finding new drugs. Another promising avenue is the use of technologies like RNA interference and gene editing, which allow scientists to turn off the production of certain proteins altogether. This method was more about serendipity than science.

A Look Back

Dark Matter Blog

The only subject in school that held my interest was biology. As soon as I learned about DNA and RNA, I wanted to be a molecular biologist. I wanted to use molecular biology to create drugs. Last stops at RNA My last roles in biotech were where my original passion began: DNA and RNA.

The central dogma of molecular biology is that information generally (with few exceptions) flows from DNA to RNA to Protein. Build your social immunity. The adaptive immune response identifies and responds to highly specific antigens associated with infections and cancer. Remember life’s Central Dogma.

Synthetic Origins

I was reading a lot of molecular biology papers about different systems, especially circadian clocks, and also a book called Biological Feedback , by Thomas and D’Ari, that sketched out really simple models for different kinds of feedback circuits. The exported RNA could transfect just the target cell.
