Now these companies are targeting individual customers. This is caused by people becoming more and more interested in the drug industry because of the increasing focus on medicines for a certain individuals. That will create a story of how a specialized medicine made specifically for one person saved their life therefore increasing the publicity of drug companies and hospitals and making more people want personalized medicine for their condition.]]> 2018-10-02 17:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/22hunterb72/wbmev0csevtz/wish/288292896 22hunterb72 https://padlet.com/22hunterb72/wbmev0csevtz/wish/288302575 Silicon in plants plays a big role in growth and development to protect it from biotic and abiotic stress. Human exposure to silicon strengthens bones, improves immune responses, and improves neuronal and connective tissue health. Scientists can now force silicon and carbon to bond a make silicon based organisms.

Oral delivery of bio-pharmaceuticals using the B subunit of cholera toxin as a transmucosal carrier to produce bio-pharmaceuticals cheaply and deliver them through noninvasive routes. This is a huge advancement because more people will be willing to buy bio-pharmaceuticals because they are cheaper and painless.]]> 2018-10-03 15:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/22hunterb72/wbmev0csevtz/wish/288719862 22hunterb72 https://padlet.com/22hunterb72/wbmev0csevtz/wish/288725867 Age-related conditions are the #1 cause of death and health-care costs. To reduce the rate of aging would have huge medical and financial benefits. Myriad genes and pathways are known to regulate aging in model organisms, fostering a new crop of anti-aging companies. Approaches range from drug discovery efforts to big-data methods and direct to consumer strategies. ]]> 2018-10-03 15:57:51 UTC https://padlet.com/22hunterb72/wbmev0csevtz/wish/288725867 22hunterb72 https://padlet.com/22hunterb72/wbmev0csevtz/wish/288757887 A device designed by researchers at the University of California-Los Angeles can detect oral cancer from a single drop of saliva. Proteins that associated with cancer cells react with dyes on the sensor, which then emits fluorescent light that can be detected with a microscope. Engineer Chih-Ming Ho says that the same principle could be applied to make saliva-based diagnostic tests for many different diseasesdiseases.]]> 2018-10-03 16:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/22hunterb72/wbmev0csevtz/wish/288757887 22hunterb72 https://padlet.com/22hunterb72/wbmev0csevtz/wish/288802530 2018-10-03 17:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/22hunterb72/wbmev0csevtz/wish/288802530 22hunterb72 https://padlet.com/22hunterb72/wbmev0csevtz/wish/288806242 2018-10-03 18:01:47 UTC https://padlet.com/22hunterb72/wbmev0csevtz/wish/288806242 22hunterb72 https://padlet.com/22hunterb72/wbmev0csevtz/wish/288810816 2018-10-03 18:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/22hunterb72/wbmev0csevtz/wish/288810816 22hunterb72 https://padlet.com/22hunterb72/wbmev0csevtz/wish/288811325 2018-10-03 18:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/22hunterb72/wbmev0csevtz/wish/288811325
