Blood fats are key biomarkers for heart, liver, and other diseases, highlighting the importance of lipid metabolism for health. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme involved in hydrolyzing triglycerides from circulating lipoproteins in the blood, releasing free fatty acids. Understanding the structural and functional aspects of LPL is crucial, given its significant role in lipid metabolism and related diseases. In this webinar, the speaker will describe experiments that uncovered how LPL interacts

Measurable residual disease, or MRD (also know n as minimal residual disease), refers to detectable cancer cells that remain in cancer patients after treatment. Even small numbers of these cells, particularly in blood cancers—such as leukemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma—may replicate and cause relapse, but unfortunately these rare cells usually can’t be detected by microscopy. Newer, more sensitive assays—such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and digital PCR (dPCR)—can quantify MRD more precisely,

Advocacy in rare disease is complex and challenging, but there are effective methods that advocates can use to communicate with the public. In this panel discussion, experts in communication, public relations, and influencing will discuss strategies and tactics to advance advocacy for rare disease. The discussion will explore how advocates can: Raise awareness on how rare disease impacts individuals and families through social media, events, press releases, storytelling, and community engagement, and by

Across the globe, regulatory landscapes are notoriously complex and difficult to navigate, yet laws regarding human health can literally be a matter of life and death. Diagnosis and treatment remain challenging for the more than 7,000 rare diseases impacting 350 million people worldwide. Policy makers set research funding agendas and make laws, such as the Orphan Drug Act, that can tip the balance on whether drug makers will pursue treatments for rare disease and make them accessible. Advocates play a

The immune system is the body’s premier line of defense against microbial pathogens, yet some microbes are treated as friends instead of foes. The colonization of the human body with microbes is critical to a newborn’s developing immune system and metabolic health, and this dynamic process may impact long-term health as well. Researchers are exploring how the body’s earliest interactions with the mic robiome can misfire, leading to childhood disease. Others are probing the molecular details of how immune

Advances in our understanding of biology—in particular how living cells function—have enabled us to recruit different types of cells for production of new medicines, new materials, new food ingredients, and even biofuels. This field is referred to as synthetic biology. The roots of synthetic biology were laid in the mid-seventies, with the first molecular cloning and amplification of DNA in a plasmid, known as recombinant DNA. I n 2010 researchers at the J. Craig Venter Institute created the first synthetic

In 2017, 64 years after the publication of the structure of DNA, the first gene therapy became clinically available in the United States, a treatment for a sight-robbing eye disease. A year later, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy became available. These immune system cells are genetically modified to target therapy-resistant cancers. A handful more cell and gene therapies for a…
