The field of biopharmaceuticals is playing an increasingly pivotal role in medical treatment but is encountering several challenges. One pressing issue is the short half-life of many biopharmaceutical products, which leads to rapid degradation and clearance from the patient’s body, necessitating frequent dosing. In this article, we explore how half-life extension strategies in drug development…
Breast cancer, a widely recognized term, stands as one of the most prevalent malignant tumors among women. Nevertheless, the medical community remains captivated by the elusive origins of breast cancer. In recent years, scientists have shifted their focus towards the microscopic world within cells, particularly honing in on the protein synthesis factories within cells –…
The term “single cell” refers to an individual cell, isolated and examined on its own. Analysis conducted specifically on individual cells is collectively referred to as single-cell sequencing analysis, while sequencing performed on these isolated cells is termed single-cell sequencing. Sequencing multiple cells or a group of cells falls outside the realm of single-cell sequencing. For instance,…
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), as its name indicated, is a condition caused by abnormal or excessive fat buildup in liver, which is not a result of heavy alcohol use. It has become a common chronic liver disease and is affecting up to 25% of people worldwide. Most people have no symptoms, and 2% to 5% of people will…
Therapeutic antibodies, engineered through biotechnology, represent a specialized class of antibodies used in disease treatment. These antibodies are designed to target specific disease markers, such as malignant tumors, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. Compared to traditional antibody therapies, therapeutic antibodies offer higher specificity and fewer side effects. In the realm of immunotherapy, antibody-dependent cell-mediated…
