Could a fecal transplant pill be the antidepressants of the future?
Depression is real, and it is complex. Most conditions that affect our brain chemistry are going to be complex, and there are no easy, simple answers. We can’t cure depression by just exercising more, eating better, or taking a short vacation to recharge (although there is some evidence that getting more money, especially to lift you out of poverty, helps relieve depressive symptoms).
French pharmaceutical technology company Aqemia has reached a multi-year research collaboration agreement valued at up to $140 million with industry giant Sanofi SA, according to a statement.
Experiments in orbit have shown the advantages of crystallizing valuable protein-based medicines in microgravity, possibly yielding new patents.
PARIS, Dec 5 (Reuters) — France raised the risk level of bird flu to ‘high’ from ‘moderate’ on Tuesday after new cases of the disease were detected, forcing poultry farms to keep birds indoors to stem the spread of the highly contagious virus.
The decision by the agriculture ministry was published in the Official Journal on Tuesday.
Avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu, has led to the culling of hundreds of millions birds worldwide in recent years.
No less sensitive for being mass produced, organoids are supporting applications such as drug development and providing an alternative to animal models.
Researchers using the new FLSHclust algorithm discovered 188 unique CRISPR-linked gene modules, including a novel type VII CRISPR-Cas system, in a massive protein database. This breakthrough enhances our understanding of CRISPR systems and their potential in biotechnological innovations.
Researchers have developed a new algorithm, FLSHclust (“flash clust”), leading to the discovery of 188 rare and previously unknown CRISPR-linked gene modules. This includes a novel type VII CRISPR-Cas system found among billions of protein sequences. The findings of this approach offer new possibilities for exploiting CRISPR systems and exploring the vast diversity of microbial proteins.
CRISPR’s Growing Impact in Biotechnology.
Scattered evidence suggests that aberrant proteins act as “seeds” to transmit neurodegenerative disease, but the jury is still out.
Not a cure all but it helps fight some cancer.
Lidocaine, a common local anesthetic, activates proteins that cause certain types of cancer cells to self-destruct.
Artificial intelligence (AI) was utilised by researchers to find a novel antibiotic that can eradicate a dangerous species of superbug. Thousands of possible substances were reduced using artificial intelligence (AI) to a small number that could be evaluated in a lab. Abaucin, a strong experimental antibiotic that was the end result, needs to undergo more testing before it can be utilised.
