Common Diabetes Drug Shows Promise as Treatment for COVID-19 Lung Inflammation
June 8, 2021
Researchers identify molecular mechanism for the anti-inflammatory activity of diabetes drug metformin and, in mouse studies, say it prevents lung inflammation in animals infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Synthetic Biology Used to Limit Bacterial Growth and Coordinate Drug Release
July 20, 2016
…The team engineered a clinically relevant bacterium to produce cancer drugs and then self-destruct and release the drugs at the site of tumors. The approach enables continual production and release of drugs at disease sites in mice while simultaneously limiting the size, over time, of the populations of bacteria engineered…
