In recent years, bioconjugation has emerged as a powerful strategy for improving drug delivery and enhancing therapeutic efficacy. By linking drugs to various biological entities, such as proteins, antibodies, nanoparticles, or targeting moieties, bioconjugation enables precise and targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to desired sites. This article aims to provide an overview of different ...
Circular RNAs are closed-loop single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) that are structurally specific, and produced by the back-splicing process. CircRNAs can exist independently of proteins and are unaffected by exonucleases, and are widely found in plant and animal cells to regulate gene expression. Circular RNAs were first discovered by Sanger studying virus-like RNAs. And in 1991, Nigro stumbled upon an ...
Most of the drugs currently in clinical use are based on small molecules and use the "occupancy-driven" mode of action to inhibit the function of proteins and play a role in the treatment of diseases. Different from traditional small molecule inhibitors and antagonists, protein degradation technology has developed rapidly in recent years because of its ability to induce the degradation of ...
Researchers have delved further into our understanding of coronavirus, while the race to develop a vaccine continues. New advances in coronavirus understanding New research has put paid to some of the conspiracy theories surrounding coronavirus. A team comprising researchers from both the US, Australia and the UK has analyzed the receptor-binding domain (RBD) and the cleavage site present on ...
