Why Plant-Based Meat Safety Differs From That of Animal Protein

XTalks

But several researchers and experts have brought to light some food safety concerns of plant-based meat, and why it must be treated differently than that of animal protein. Because of their near-neutral pH and high protein and moisture content, plant-based meats are susceptible to microbial growth. Subject to Microbial Growth.

Asthma drug can block crucial SARS-CoV-2 protein

The Pharma Data

A drug used to treat asthma and allergies can bind to and block a crucial protein produced by the virus SARS-CoV-2, and reduce viral replication in human immune cells, according to a new study by researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). Targeting Nsp1 could therefore reduce the damage inflicted by the virus.

mRNA Therapeutics and mRNA Vaccines Industry: Current Scenario and Future Trends

Roots Analysis

It is important in the process of protein synthesis because mRNA is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA to ribosomes, which then decodes the genetic information into a protein. Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule that is complementary to a gene’s DNA.
