Mojgan Sani has recently taken over the role of Chief Pharmacist at North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust. Here she talks about how the automation of medication management can help meet many of the challenges currently facing the NHS.
Accessibility to social care isn’t the only issue causing bed blocking across the NHS – pharmacy have a crucial role to play in freeing up bed space too. As a profession, we need to look at streamlining the process for To Take Out (TTO) medication and how automation can achieve this. The latest annual inpatient survey by the Care Quality Commission found 73% of patients “whose discharge had been delayed” said the main reason was “that they had to wait for medicines”. Of the 76,668 patients who responded more than a quarter said they had wa…

Enzymes have a variety of applications including technical applications, food manufacturing, animal nutrition, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and research and development tools.
Enzymes are protein molecules that act as specific catalysts for chemical reactions. Researchers have made significant contributions to the traditional and modern chemical industries by improving existing processes. Representative industrial applications of enzymes are concentrated in the fields of technology applications, feed industry, food processing and cosmetics. Enzymes are natural catalysts. They are produced by living organisms to increase the speed of the enormous and diverse learning reactions required for life.

Resistance to anticancer drugs results from a variety of factors, and individual genetic difference is just one of them. This article is about how to overcome drug resistance against KRAS inhibitors in cancer treatment.
Recently, KRAS and KRAS-G12C mutant inhibitors, which were previously considered to be "non-drugable" targets, have ignited a development boom. However, KRAS inhibitors are not a "magic bullet" for once and for all. Drug resistance is a major problem that frequently occurs in cancer treatment. In clinical practice, tumor tissue becomes significantly smaller after targeted therapy, but soon deteriorates again. Such scenes are commonly observed in real situations. Amgen's latest clinical trial results also indicate that some patients treated with the KRAS-G12C inhibitor AMG 51…

The severe side effects of conventional chemotherapeutic treatments can’t be ignored since in most cases, the valid drug dose that can remove the tumor are too toxic for patients. To solve the limitations, the antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged consisting of tumor-selective antibody-linked drugs, with the potential to significantly broaden the therapeutic range.

Enzymes, in other words, are just proteins. Since there are only a lot of enzymes for industrial use in the future, it is known that the future development and optimization of catalytic proteins is essential. So what is enzymes development and optimization?
The interpretation of enzymes in the modern industry certainly does not refer to yeast, but to proteins with catalytic functions. As a natural catalyst, enzymes promote various chemical reactions in cells and play a vital role in the existence of living organisms. From the concept of enzymes, to the mature industrial enzyme production, it has probably gone through 130-40 years. The Greek translation of the enzyme is "in yeast", meaning from yeast. In 1897, after the methods of disruption for yeast, the extract obtained had the…

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.

Investment in biotechnology has been on the rise for nearly a decade, with biotech startups raising just shy of 29 billion USD in 2018. For smart investors, due diligence is now a necessity, as it can make the difference between landing a possible billion-dollar blockbuster or a multi-million dollar dud.
In recent years the biotech and pharmaceutical industries have seen an unprecedented increase in investment. Both large pharma and investors are all searching for the next big thing to expand their portfolios and continue growth. Risk is high and a key part of mitigating this is effective due diligence. Simply put, due diligence is the investigation of a business or asset prior to signing a contract. As with any transaction, information is never perfect and the concept is that by conducting…

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…
