Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devasting lung disease characterized by progressive scarring of lung tissue. As fibrosis develops, patients experience worsening shortness of breath, reduced lung capacity and ultimately respiratory failure. Current therapies for IPF rely on oral administration of pirfenidone and nintedanib, two FDA-approved drugs that slow disease progression. While ...
The BCL2 gene, short for B-cell lymphoma 2, is a critical regulator of apoptosis, or programmed cell death. It belongs to a larger BCL2 gene family, which includes both pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins that maintain a delicate balance between cell survival and cell death. Dysregulation of this gene family is implicated in a variety of diseases, most notably cancer. What is BCL2? The ...

Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) remains a critical concern in epilepsy management, with the underlying mechanisms still not fully understood. Recent research from Iyer, S., et al (2024) has highlighted the role of respiratory dysfunction in SUDEP, particularly involving the orexinergic system in the brain. This blog delves into a fascinating study that investigates how altered ...
Quality Control of Aluminum-adjuvanted Vaccines First, the nature of the surface charge of aluminum-adsorbed antigens needs to be understood in order to predict the physical properties of vaccine suspensions; Second, determining the rate and strength of adsorption of aluminum adsorbed antigens can help us to understand the ability of aluminum adjuvants to adsorb antigens, as well as their ...
Due to their low prevalence and limited understanding, treating and finding cures for these conditions present significant challenges. However, preclinical animal models have emerged as invaluable resources for advancing research and unraveling the mysteries surrounding rare diseases. ...
With the rapid development of antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), more and more companies have entered the field of ADC research and development, and various types of ADC technologies and branches have emerged. Bispecific antibody conjugates (BsAb ADCs) are one of the emerging new technologies. The high specificity of bispecific antibodies enables more precise targeting of tumor cells. On the other ...
Antibody drug conjugate (ADC) research involves more and more targets, such as HER-2, Trop-2, Claudin-18.2, B7-H3 and B7-H4, etc. Trop-2 is a transmembrane glycoprotein. Its high expression is associated with the occurrence of many tumors and poor prognosis. It is a very popular ADC research target, second only to HER2. Currently, only Gilead's Trop-2 ADC drug Trodelvy has been approved for ...
What Are the Advantages of Single-Cell RNA Sequencing? One of the significant advantages of scRNA-seq in drug discovery is its impact on target identification. By allowing researchers to dissect complex tissues and diseases at the cellular level, scRNA-seq enables the identification of distinct cell subtypes and their gene expression profiles. This information can lead to a better understanding ...
Before a new drug candidate can progress to clinical trials and ultimately reach the market, it needs to undergo rigorous testing in various model systems to assess its efficacy and safety. One critical component of this evaluation is the use of preclinical animal models. Preclinical animal ...
Advantages of Single-Cell RNA Sequencing in Drug Discovery Single-Cell RNA Sequencing (scRNA-seq) offers several advantages in drug discovery, primarily through target identification. By analyzing complex tissues and diseases at the cellular level, scRNA-seq allows researchers to identify distinct cell subtypes and their gene expression profiles.

Contexte Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease caused by the presence of antibodies directed against components of the muscle membrane located at the neuromuscular junction. In the majority of cases, these are autoantibodies directed against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR). The origin of the autoimmune response is not known, but thymic abnormalities and defective regulation of the ...
