Advancements in Genetic Testing
Genetic testing identifies changes in the chromosome structure or DNA sequence. It is also used to identify changes in genes and proteins, and it also plays a great role in diagnosing genetic disorders and the healthcare industry. In the 1950s, the first genetic prenatal screens were developed as early...
Carbon Capture, Storage, and Utilization
Carbon dioxide concentrations are rising mainly by the burning of fossil fuels. The global average amount of carbon dioxide reached record levels 412.5 parts per million, rising by 2.6 ppm that year. In 2019, it was 409.8 ppm, a rise of approx. 2.5 ± 0.1 ppm from 2018, the...
CAR-T Cell Therapy: Advancements and Future Perspectives
The Chimeric antigen receptor CAR-T cell therapy has revolutionized the immunotherapy field with its high success rate against hematological diseases. Investigations in the early 1980s conceived the idea about tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes; however, reproducibility in invitro hampered further developments. It was not until 1993 Immunologist Dr. Zelig Eshhar created the...
