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+.

Enhancing gene therapy with Circio

Drug Target Review

What are the key findings of Circio’s in vivo proof-of-concept for its circVec circular RNA platform technology compared to conventional mRNA-based expression with DNA vectors? Circular RNA (circRNA) has two major advantages versus mRNA in a vector-expression context. DNA vectors in mouse models?

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.

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

DrugBank

Indirectly Targeting "Undruggable" Proteins Small molecules can also target "undruggable" proteins indirectly by modulating the production of these proteins. This can be achieved by influencing chromatin regulation or targeting transcription factors and RNA molecules that control protein expression.
