수요일, 4월 17, 2024

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as 'forever chemicals', comprise around 12,000 different chemicals used across various applications due to their unique properties.

Key Points: 
  • Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as 'forever chemicals', comprise around 12,000 different chemicals used across various applications due to their unique properties.
  • These chemicals are notorious for their persistence, toxicity, and bioaccumulation, leading to significant environmental and health concerns.
  • The traditional methods for detecting PFAS involve complex and expensive laboratory equipment, making the need for simpler, on-site detection methods a global priority.
  • The use of printed electronics and a carbon sensor in the device’s production also reduces environmental impacts, aligning with sustainable practices.

This agreement reinforces SpikImm's portfolio and expertise for the prophylactic treatment of viral infections in immunocompromised patients.

Key Points: 
  • This agreement reinforces SpikImm's portfolio and expertise for the prophylactic treatment of viral infections in immunocompromised patients.
  • BK virus (BKV) infects most individuals early in life and typically remains latent in the body without causing disease.
  • However, under immunosuppressive treatment, in particular in transplant patients, BKV can reactivate and replicate in the urinary tract, leading to potentially serious complications.
  • SpikImm and SATT Conectus today announced the signature of an exclusive option agreement for the anti-BKV monoclonal antibodies.

Novel Genetic Priority Score Unveiled to Enhance Target Prioritization in Drug Development

Retrieved on: 
수요일, 1월 3, 2024

NEW YORK, Jan. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Driven by the need for a better way to prioritize targets for drug development, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has led the development of a novel "genetic priority score" (GPS) that will integrate various types of human genetic data into a single easy-to-interpret score.

Key Points: 
  • The score measures the general ability of a gene to be targeted by drugs; genes with a high score in the new tool are more likely to succeed as a drug target.
  • The score identifies both known drug gene targets as well as potential novel therapeutic targets.
  • The GPS, with its potential to streamline target prioritization, is positioned to have a significant impact on drug development.
  • The paper is titled "Development of a human genetics-guided priority score for 19,365 genes and 399 drug indications."

Skulls in Ukraine reveal early modern humans came from the East

Published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, our new study analyses two skull fragments dating back between 37,000 and 36,000 years to conclude that our ancestors came from Eastern Europe and migrated westwards.

Key Points: 
  • Published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, our new study analyses two skull fragments dating back between 37,000 and 36,000 years to conclude that our ancestors came from Eastern Europe and migrated westwards.
  • These individuals are the oldest representatives of Western Europeans to have established themselves permanently in Europe and to have left traces in the genomes of present-day Europeans.
  • It is estimated they settled in the region after the ice age that took place from 40,000 to 38,000 years ago.
  • Up to this day, researchers believe that the ensuing ecological crisis wiped out both the last Neanderthal populations and the first populations of sapiens humans of the early Upper Palaeolithic.

Homo sapiens from interbreeding

  • Both individuals are descendants of distant interbreeding with Neanderthals.
  • Our study also showed that the more recent individual bore traces of interbreeding with individuals from the first wave of settlement thought to have been exterminated by the -40,000 year ice age, represented by the Zlatý Kůň individual (-45,000 years).
  • We were therefore able to conclude that the first H. sapiens were not completely replaced and some must have survived the ecological crisis.

Links with fossils found in France

  • These individuals, close to those from Buran Kaya III, were part of the population associated with the Classical Gravettian period, which produced the female ivory statuettes known as the “Gravettian Venuses” found in France, Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic.
  • The famous Venus “Dame de Brassempouy” from the French department of Landes was sculpted at this time.
  • The genetic ties indicate that these populations spread from east to west.
  • The “Génétique et epigénétique nouvelle ecole” project is supported by the French National Research Agency (ANR), which funds project-based research in France.
  • Its mission is to support and promote the development of fundamental and applied research in all disciplines, and to strengthen the dialogue between science and society.
