Role(s) of G3BPs in human pathogenesis [Minireview]

ASPET

Ras- G TPase-activating protein (SH 3 domain)- b inding p roteins (G3BP) are RNA binding proteins that plays a critical role in stress granule (SG) formation. Recent evidence suggests that G3BPs can also regulate mRNA expression through interactions with RNA outside of SGs.

Day Zero Antivirals for Future Pandemics

Codon

When COVID-19 emerged in 2019, by contrast, mRNA vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna took just 326 days from the initial sequencing of the virus to gaining approval for emergency use. These drugs would be ideal tools to bridge the wait for a vaccine against a quickly-spreading virus.

Targeting a human protein may stop Ebola virus in its tracks

The Pharma Data

To treat Ebola virus infections, researchers are taking a close look at a key piece of the virus: polymerase. Polymerase is a viral protein that directs how Ebola virus replicates its genome as it infects new hosts. Drugs that target polymerase could potentially treat Ebola virus infections and save lives.

The Dangers of Mirrored Life

Codon

It’s important to note that the 300-page report, while presenting detailed evidence for the potential harms of mirrored life, uses painstakingly speculative language. DNA and RNA molecules are also built from exclusively right-handed nucleic acids. It would also be undetectable by key parts of the human immune system.

Preliminary Findings from a Phase 2a Trial of Investigational COVID-19 Therapeutic Molnupiravir

The Pharma Data

The companies today reported findings on one secondary objective from the Phase 2a study, showing a reduction in time (days) to negativity of infectious virus isolation in nasopharyngeal swabs from participants with symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, as determined by isolation in Vero cell line culture. About Molnupiravir.

mRNA Therapeutics: Revolutionizing Treatment Beyond Vaccines

DrugBank

Introduction Messenger RNA (mRNA) technology has emerged as one of the most significant medical breakthroughs. Once delivered into the body, the mRNA instructs cells to produce these antigens, which are then presented to the immune system.
