While negotiations are still ongoing, the structure of the post-Brexit medicine testing and approval process is still unclear, and the UK government has so far ruled out an extension to the transition period which is due to come to an end at the end of this year.
While negotiations are still ongoing, the structure of the post-Brexit medicine testing and approval process is still unclear, and the UK government has so far ruled out an extension to the transition period which is due to come to an end at the end of this year. What is clear is that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is becoming independent to the EMA’s drug approval and oversight process. It might result in the testing and release of products being completed under two separate regulatory frameworks. D…

Anti-aging is intensively discussed nowadays. This article talks about the factors and biomarkers that relates to aging.
Exercise and aging Although lots of money and efforts have been invested into drug development, no drug is found to be effective in combatting aging. It is important to note that exercise is a truly effective anti-aging measure. In the absence of suitable treatments for age-related dysfunction, exercise is currently the only intervention that shows significant efficacy, reducing the incidence of age-related diseases, improving quality of life, and even increasing the life expectancy of the human body. Even moderate exercise can bring seeable benefits. Although key molecular participants mediating the protective effects of exercise on age-related diseases are not yet known…

Alzheimer's disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorder for the elderly. Early-onset Alzheimer's is rare that develops before age 65, primarily genetically influenced. Generally, the patients older than age 65 who account for a large proportion among the whole patients suffer from late-onset Alzheimer’s. The patients with late-onset Alzheimer’s have to fight against a series of frustrating symptoms, such as memory loss, poor language skills, unstable emotions, and no self-care ability, which may lead to numerous troubles or burden for themselves and the family members.

For quite a long time, it remains a puzzle as to what causes Alzheimer's disease. There are different opinions on this matter. Previously, tau and β-amyloid are to blame. In this article, let's see what new findings have been discovered.
Overactive neurons in specific regions of the brain are thought to be early disturbances of Alzheimer's disease. In a new study, researchers from the Technical University of Munich, Germany, were the first to explain the causes and mechanisms of this early neurological dysfunction. They found that the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate persisted for too long in the vicinity of active neurons. This causes these neurons to suffer from pathological over-stimulation, which is likely to be a key factor in learning and memory loss in patients with Alzheimer'…

Compared to polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies have multiple advantages, featured by strong specificity for a single epitope, little or no variability, and the easy operation to modify and customize in terms of different needs, thereby turning out to be the most suitable candidate for recombinant antibodies (rAbs). The rAbs are obtained through sequencing of the animal's immune cells and inserting the gene into a suitable cell strain, such as bacterium, yeast, and mammalian cells. Even if the original cell strain dies or is mutated, the desired cell strain can be generated by gene insertion since the antibody is definitive.
In general, polyclonal antibodies are made by collecting blood from an immunized animal stimulated with a target antigen, which can be provided all the time as…

Bispecific antibody (BsAb) is an artificially engineered antibody that can simultaneously bind two specific epitopes or target proteins with some special biological functions, such as directly targeting effector cells to tumor cells, to enhance cytotoxicity, improve antibody selectivity and functionality, and avoid immune escape mechanisms, thereby improving therapeutic efficacy. BsAb also reduces the cost of drug development and clinical trials compared to the combination of two monoclonal antibody drugs.

Enzymes, as a biologically active catalyst, also have some special properties compared to other industrial catalysts. Understanding these characteristics is of great significance for us to understand enzymes, and better utilize enzymes for industrial use and production.
Cellular activity carrying out in the living body depends on different chemical reactions. If there is no enzyme, then the body's metabolism and other life-related reactions can only be carried out at an extremely slow rate. Under such circumstances, life activities cannot be maintained. Scientists predict that if there is no enzyme, the body temperature needs to reach about 300 °C to digest food. The human body may lack certain enzymes for some reasons, causing the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme to be abnormal, and…

More than 2,000 enzymes have been identified, and each enzyme is involved with one specific chemical reaction. Enzymes are therefore substrate-specific. They are grouped into a half-dozen classes on the basis of the kinds of reactions they take part in.
Enzymes are key protein molecules in living systems. Once synthesized, they are not usually converted to other kinds of molecules, and so are the substances taken in as fuel for digestive and respiratory processes (such as sugar, fat, and molecular oxygen). This is because enzymes are catalysts, which means they can participate in chemical reactions without themselves being changed, just like the moderator of a public debate who ideally moves the participants and the audience toward a conclusion by dictating the terms of the argument while n…
