The Difference Between Generic Drugs and Original Drugs
8 Sep 2020
People may often hear about the different types of medicinal drugs, such as generic drugs, original drugs and imported medicine. But some may not know the differences between them. This article will elaborate the similarities and differences between them.
Antibacterial Therapy
6 Feb 2021
The birth of penicillin in 1943 opened the golden era of antibacterial therapy. However, after the 1980s, large pharmaceutical companies faced major scientific challenges in finding new antibiotics to solve antimicrobial resistance, and there was no guarantee for continuous market and profit growth in this field, so the development of antibacterial drugs began to stagnate.
Potential of RNA Vaccines for Covid-19
6 Feb 2021
RNA vaccine technology can completely change immunization methods against AIDS, malaria, influenza and other diseases. Last month, two RNA vaccine candidates received the first emergency use authorization (EUA) from multiple national regulatory agencies to fight COVID-19—one is from the US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and BioNTech, and the other is from Moderna located in Massachusetts. This marks the arrival of the era of RNA vaccines.
PCR Technology

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method widely used to rapidly make millions to billions of copies of a specific DNA sample, allowing scientists to take a very small sample of DNA and amplify it to a large enough amount to study in detail. There are three main thermal cycling steps in PCR experiment. By adjusting the PCR settings accordingly, researchers can increase yield, enhance specificity and shorten the reaction time. Below are the most common PCR methods and their core advantages.
PPI Prediction
22 Apr 2021
Cells are mainly composed of proteins, and almost every primary cellular process is completed by polyprotein complexes. By identifying and analyzing the components of protein complexes, we can better understand how protein collections are organized into functional units . Since protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are essential for most cell functions, they must be determined to decipher cell behavior.
