Recent Advancement in Biotechnology and Drug Development Using Cutting-Edge Platforms

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic encompasses recent drug, gene and cellular discoveries that aim to revolutionise current ways of delivering effective, personalized and challenging medical therapies. This covers new drugs or the repurposing of old ones, as well as gene therapies, whether edited via CRISPR technology or based on native genes, that induce specialized cellular differentiation and functionalization. The Issue will also cover novel stem-based delivery platforms and ways to target-deliver molecules and genes in complex biological systems. The Issue also aims to explore future potential endeavours and futuristic prospectives on the direction of new inventions in treating uncurable diseases ranging from metabolic symptoms such as diabetes, into more prominent health challenges such as hearing and vision imprairment as well as age-related disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease and general decline of cognitive functions.
