Gene Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis
What is cystic fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the lungs, digestive system, and other organs. It is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which encodes a protein that regulates chloride ions transport across cell membranes. These mutations cause the CFTR protein to be either absent or not function ...

GMP Grade Cytokine Needed for Cell Therapy Manufacturing
GMP growth factors and cytokines designed for therapeutic manufacturing are essential components of defined media. To date, the cell therapy industry has accepted GMP terms for this reagent class, despite the fact that there is no direct oversight by regulators. These proteins are intended for use in further manufacturing processes and do not come into direct contact with patients. In fact, cell ...

What causes heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)?
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a multifactorial and multisystemic disorder that represents more than 50% of all heart failure cases.[1] Epidemiologic data from the Framingham Study, an international cohort study, shows a rapid increase in the prevalence of HFpEF over the past three decades, from 41% to 56% and, conversely, a decrease in the prevalence of HFrEF from 44% ...

Significance of Diagnostic Enzyme Detection
Serum enzyme tests have been used in clinical practice for a long time, such as increased amylase activity in serum and urine of patients with acute pancreatitis. In the 1930s, some scholars reported that the determination of serum lipase and alkaline phosphatase activities is helpful for the diagnosis of pancreatitis and bone diseases, respectively. After the 1950s, the application of serum ...
