    Scientists Identify Genes linked to High Production of Key Antibody

    A collaboration led by UCLA and the Seattle Children’s Research Institute has yielded new knowledge about the genes responsible for the production and release of immunoglobulin G, the most common type of antibody in the human body.

    The finding has the potential to advance manufacturing of antibody-based therapies for diseases such as cancer and arthritis, as well as the development of medical treatments that rely on the production of antibodies.

    Slingshot to Shoot Drugs onto the site of an Infection

    May 8, 2017, Categories  Biology/Biotechnology, Health/Medical

    The molecular slingshot is composed of a synthetic DNA strand that can load a drug and then effectively act as the rubber band of the slingshot.

    An international team from the University of Rome Tor Vergata and the University of Montreal has reported, in a paper published this week in Nature Communications, the design and synthesis of a nanoscale molecular slingshot made of DNA that is 20,000 times smaller than a human hair. This molecular slingshot could “shoot” and deliver drugs at precise locations in the human body once triggered by specific disease markers.

    The molecular slingshot is only a few nanometres long and is composed of a synthetic DNA strand that can load a drug and then effectively act as the rubber band of the slingshot...
