Nandini Pharasi, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology When implanted in mice, the gene-modified cells will produce a biological medicine that can cure inflammation, allowing the researchers in St. Louis to create therapies for rheumatoid arthritis that have minimal adverse effects. Rheumatoid arthritis, a severe illness that affects about 1.3 million individuals in the United States, […]
Madhavi Bhatia, National Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Guwahati Genome-editing technologies have made genetic studies transform from traditional interventions to precise manipulations of the DNA sequences thus resulting in both simplicity and robust outcomes. There are various genome-editing technologies, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) systems are widely used. The standard CRISPR-Cas9 method introduces […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata In this current spread of outbreaks, specifically with the emergence of more transmissible variants, frequent rapid testing for COVID-19 is a vital requirement. For that purpose, qRT-PCR (quantitative reverse-transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction), the gold standard COVID-19 diagnostic test, is employed these days. This method generally entails specialized equipment, a centralized laboratory facility, […]
Kanikah Mehndiratta, MSc, University of Glasgow CRISPR-Cas9 technology is recently being extensively applied in human diseases research in study and effective treatment. Along with its huge therapeutic potential, the technique is also being explored in various other areas where gene editing could improve breeds and promote desirable traits. Traditional approaches to selective breeding in the […]
Monika R, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore Geminiviruses are plant viruses that cause economically important plant diseases worldwide. These viruses are proliferating globally and have attracted considerable scientific interest during the past 30 years. These viruses have circular ssDNA genomes and initiate infection with the discharge of viral ssDNA into the nucleus of the host, […]
Varuni Ankolekar, Clinical Data Manager Traditionally, the discovery of drugs was done by recognizing the active ingredients from traditional remedies or unexpectedly. Later, Scientists discovered that the interaction of specific chemicals in the drug with biological molecules of the human body serves the purpose of the drug. Later, Chemical pharmacological approaches were made to identify […]
Devyani Goswami, Amity University Kolkata CRISPR-CAS9 a huge discovery in the biomedical field which guarantees curing various genetic disorders has been used and a topic of research among various scientists. Due to this the scientists discovering CRISPR-CAS9 were awarded the Nobel Prize of Chemistry, 2020. Utilizing this concept a group of scientists tried to treat […]
PRAGYA SANTRA, AMITY UNIVERSITY KOLKATA Sickle cell anaemia is an autosomal red blood cell disorder where the shape of the RBCs become distorted and crescent sickle-shaped. Such structural modifications to the RBCs disables them if their ability to transfer oxygen to the whole body. Deoxygenated Sickle cells have an affinity to bind mutually forming polymers. […]
Shrayana Ghosh, Amity University Kolkata Recently a mechanism has been determined by which microRNAs can be degraded by cells. This was discovered by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center. The information sheds light on the working of cells and how that can be used to establish a new way to combat infectious diseases and cancer. […]
