IS MOLECULAR MEDICINE THE FUTURE?

 

Disease diagnosis and prognosis has enhanced since a long time. As doctors developed their understanding of diseases, they recognised measurable signals, or biomarkers, that show regular biological function, pathology or reaction to treatment.

In the previous decade, a new set of technologies have developed that dramatically enhanced the discovery of new biomarkers. The work promises to reshape how doctors analyze and treat disease and how pharmaceutical corporations chase drug development. For instance, in oncology the impacts are already being felt. In the past 18 months, the FDA permitted the first and second tissue-agnostic therapies.

For all the services that are driving the molecular medicine and diagnostic research forward, others hold it back. Data is often siloed within administrations or unreachable to the bigger scientific community. It is also often collected with few morals in mind, so researchers cannot blend data sets.

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS?

Image
  Molecular diagnostics  is a group of methods used to analyze biological markers in the genome and proteome, and how their cells express their genes as proteins, applying molecular biology to medical testing. In medicine the method that is used to identify and monitor disease, identify risk, and select which therapies will work best for individual patients. Molecular diagnostics uses  in vitro  biological assays like PCR-ELISA or Fluorescence in situ hybridization. The assay identifies a molecule, frequently in low concentrations, that is a marker of virus or risk in a sample taken from a patient. Safeguarding of the sample before analysis is critical. Manual handling must be decreased. The delicate RNA molecule poses certain tests. As part of the cellular process of expressing genes as proteins, it deals an amount of gene expression but it is in danger to hydrolysis and breakdown by ever-present RNAse enzymes. Samples can be snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen or protected in preservat

WHY IS MOLECULAR BIOLOGY IMPORTANT?

Image
  The area of molecular biology has a deep impact in life science research. Major developments in molecular biology over the past four decades have inspired research and progress in almost all the disciplines of life science.  This heavy force includes the development of more and more refined experimental techniques in molecular biology with a broad, interdisciplinary applicability; the ever-expanding movement of info of technical novelties and scientific findings across the scientific community; and the improvement of specific software and continuously updated databases for, respectively, analyzing and storing data on genotypes,   gene expression levels, cytogenetic profiles and other molecular features.  One main example is the innovation in  high-throughput biology, next generation sequencing and recombinant DNA technology, which made the potential to unveil the extraordinary complexity of the genome and elucidate the precise mechanisms for the communication of the genetic infor

WHY IS MOLECULAR MODELLING IMPORTANT?

Image
Molecular modelling  includes all procedures, theoretical and computational, used to model or mimic the activities of molecules. The procedures are used in the areas of computational chemistry, drug design, computational biology and materials science to study molecular systems going from small chemical systems to large biological molecules and material assemblies. Using molecular modelling scientists will be able to design better and new and more powerful drugs against diseases such as Cancer, AIDS, and Arthritis. Molecular modelling not only has the probability to bring fresh drugs to the market, but a huge collection of fresh materials. The discovery of fullerenes, nanotubes and superconducting cuprates, are estimated to produce fresh ingredients in the optics, ceramic, semiconductor and biomaterials markets.
