Introduction to AAV as a Gene Therapy Vector, Part 1
What are AAVs? and what makes them good candidates for gene therapy? In two previous posts, we introduced gene therapy, a method for curing genetic diseases by providing healthy copies of defective genes, and Adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsids, the gene therapy delivery system Dyno focuses on. In those posts, we also discussed how natural variants of AAV did not evolve for the specialized ...

A Review of Therapies For Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, irreversible neurodegenerative disease clinically manifested by cognitive impairment, behavioral abnormalities, and social deficits. It is predicted that by 2050, the number of people 65 and older with dementia in the United States could reach 13.8 million. In China, more than 15.07 million elderly people aged 60 or over suffer from dementia, of which ...

Introduction of Chitosan as Nano-drug Delivery Carrier
Chitin is the second largest natural polymer after cellulose, and it exists widely in nature, such as shells of crustaceans such as shrimps, crabs, insects, and cell walls of fungi. Although chitin has good biocompatibility and biodegradability, its poor solubility limits its practicality in the field of biomedicine. The product of chitin deacetylation is chitosan. Chitosan is structurally ...

The Potential of WNT/B-Catenin Modulation in Treating Pulmonary Fibrosis
Pulmonary fibrosis, particularly idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), represents a significant challenge in healthcare due to its detrimental impact on lung function and limited treatment options. While WNT/β-catenin signaling plays a crucial role in lung development and maintenance of adult lung stem cells, its dysregulation has been associated with pulmonary fibrosis. However, recent ...

The power of autoantibodies to enhance clinical development success in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc)
An unmet need for disease-modifying therapy persists for patients with Systemic Sclerosis SSc is an autoimmune disease characterised by widespread vascular injury, progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs, and a specific pattern of autoantibodies. The clinical manifestations of SSc are highly heterogenous with significant internal organ manifestations causing a greater mortality ...

Applications of nanotechnology in drug delivery systems for the treatment of cancer and diabetes
This paper discusses potential applications of nanotechnology in drug delivery systems and pharmacotherapeutics. There are a few limitations in the use of conventionally available drug delivery systems as pharmacological agents in disease treatment. Lack of target specificity, altered effects and diminished potency due to drug metabolism in the body, cytotoxicity of certain anti-carcinogenic ...

Immune Strategies for Cancer Treatment
In the search for innovative and effective ways to target cancer, we are faced with more than just a challenging problem; we are faced with our own cells as opponents. Cancer cells evolve to achieve an optimum of physical fitness, giving them an array of abilities that no cell should possess in a healthy organism. One way to find novel therapies against cancer therefore could imply finding a ...
