Addressing increasingly resistant drugs by infectious agents

Drug Target Review

I had earlier proposed the use of Palmatine and Silver Nitrate in the efficacy against the RNA structure of the COVID-19 virus. 3 Sirtuins are a family of seven protein that play a role in aging by controlling cellular health (all activities in the cell) and function in the presence of NAD+.

A therapy candidate for fatal prion diseases turns off disease-causing gene

Broad Institute

By Greta Friar, Whitehead Institute June 27, 2024 Images of a mouse brain show the effect of a technology called CHARM in turning off the expression of a gene in the brain. CRISPRoff uses building blocks from CRISPR gene editing technology, including the guide protein Cas9 that directs the tool to the target gene.

Marvin Caruthers receives inaugural Merkin Prize in ceremony at the Broad Institute for DNA synthesis technology

Broad Institute

Today, scientists use such reactions to produce the customizable DNA and RNA molecules that enable genetic sequencing, drug and vaccine development, pathogen tests, cancer diagnostics, and more. Wang concluded her presentation by expressing gratitude to Merkin. Yet we all know as scientists that it’s technology that drives discovery.

Proteogenomics reveals markers of chemotherapy resistance and outcome in triple negative breast cancer

Broad Institute

Data from standard DNA and RNA sequencing approaches were integrated with mass spectrometry-based proteomics and phosphoproteomic analyses to derive more complete molecular portraits of treatment-responsive versus treatment-resistant tumors. These data suggest a multi-omics predictor for chemotherapy response is within reach.

Codon Digest: CAR-T Therapy for Neuroblastoma

Codon

Small snippets of double-stranded RNA were sprayed onto hot pepper plants to control a pest, called Frankliniella occidentalis. The RNA strands shut down a specific gene in the insects, and killed half after 7 days. RNA may offer a safer form of pest control in the future. Biology is the world’s most advanced technology.
