New study reveals promising drug target for treating osteoporosis

Drug Discovery World

Researchers have identified a novel target downstream of parathyroid hormone (PTH) signalling that suppresses bone formation in osteoporosis. Induction of parathyroid hormone (PTH) signalling using the PTH-derived peptide – teriparatide, has demonstrated strong bone-promoting effects in patients with osteoporosis.

Genetic biomarkers could personalise therapy for TNBC

Drug Discovery World

Triple negative cancers are not driven by any of the three molecules that can be blocked by targeted hormone receptor drugs – the HER2 protein and two hormone receptors for oestrogen and progesterone – and so current treatment options are limited.

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

Further, the expression of any gene is dependent on the rate at which it is transcribed into mRNA and translated into proteins. There are various regulatory proteins or transcription factors that are responsible for affecting the transcription rate.
