The COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged at the end of 2019, may have receded from public consciousness, but its impact continues to reverberate. Over the past three years, countries worldwide have grappled with multiple waves of widespread infection. Although many nations have now established immunity barriers, the risk of long COVID symptoms and recurrent infections still looms large. Such repeated infections could have a profound effect on individuals' immune function. Read More
Antibodies, the extraordinary proteins that serve as the frontline troops of the human immune system, have recently gained attention for their ability to combat tiny compounds known as haptens. Because of their small size, these elusive targets present particular difficulty for the immune system to identify as foreign invaders. However, researchers' inventiveness has resulted in the creation of several techniques to bypass this barrier and unleash the full potential of hapten antibodies. Read More
Gene editing technology, represented by CRISPR/Cas9, has greatly accelerated the development of gene therapy, bringing hope to many genetic diseases that otherwise had no cure. Read More
In our globally connected world, the specter of foodborne and waterborne infections continues to cast a shadow over public health. These infections, ranging from commonplace gastrointestinal discomfort to severe, long-lasting conditions like mad cow disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, pose a persistent threat. One prominent example is the Hepatitis A Virus (HAV), which can be transmitted through the contamination of food or water sources. Read More
The realm of biopharmaceuticals plays a crucial role in modern medical treatment, yet faces significant challenges. A notable concern is the brief half-life of many biopharmaceutical products, leading to swift degradation and clearance from the patient's body, necessitating frequent dosing. This article delves into the ways in which half-life extension strategies in drug development can effectively tackle this issue, enhancing patient convenience and optimizing therapeutic outcomes.
