The manufacturing of viral vectors, which are crucial for gene therapy, vaccine development, and other advanced therapeutic applications, demands the highest standards of quality and consistency. Ensuring quality in viral vector manufacturing is a multifaceted process that involves rigorous adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), advanced quality control measures, and continuous process monitoring.

[ Read More ]Stem cells are special cells with the potential to differentiate into blood, brain, bone, and organ-specific cells. Furthermore, stem cell therapy offers great hope in treating various diseases or conditions for which no treatment options exist at present. Researchers have recently achieved significant progress in turning regular adult cells into stem cells by altering their

To explore extended family, prove paternity in court, fight for property and custody battles, and prove criminal innocence, it is important to assess the accuracy of genetic tests.
[ Read More ]TB-500 is a synthetic variant of the naturally occurring Thymosin Beta-4 peptide, which is typically present in all mammal cells. This presumably effective biological peptide is a member of a large family of 16 similar compounds. These molecules have high sequence conservation and are found in most tissues and circulating cells. To trap and inhibit

These problems encompass a range of disorders such as overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, bladder cancer, interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome, and neurogenic bladder. As the estimates from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggest,
[ Read More ]Most of us have 23 pairs of chromosomes, half from each of the parents. Sometimes, cell division in the sperm and egg or during early embryonic development causes the occurrence of an extra pair of chromosomes in the genetic code of the fetus. This condition of having an extra pair of chromosomes is known as
[ Read More ]Host defence peptides, often known as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), were initially identified in the 1980s. When used against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, AMPs demonstrate their broad-spectrum and potent antimicrobial activity. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) serve as the first line of defence against invading organisms in various species, including humans, animals, and plants. AMPs are essential parts
[ Read More ]New discoveries and technological developments in healthcare have always been pushing the limits of what was previously thought to be achievable. The application of viral vectors to gene therapy and genome editing is a prime example of such a revolutionary step forward. Since their discovery in the 1980s, our knowledge of and ability to use
[ Read More ]Back in 2021, the stem cell market was large enough to generate more than $16 billion in revenue every single year around the world. However, by 2027, this market is expected to reach a value of about $30 billion every year. That means that the entire industry is doubling in size in only about six
[ Read More ]Alzheimer’s is a progressive, degenerative brain disorder that causes severe memory loss and other cognitive difficulties. There are no known causes or cures for Alzheimer’s disease. But scientists do know that there is a connection between genetics and alzheimer’s. So do other factors like diet, exercise and sleep patterns, air pollution, mental depression, or loneliness.
