CRISPR vs. Pathogens: The Future of Gene-Editing in Combating Infectious Diseases
In the rapidly evolving landscape of biomedical science, CRISPR-Cas9 technology stands out as a revolutionary tool with the potential to transform the way we combat infectious diseases. This gene-editing system, derived from a natural defense mechanism in bacteria, allows for precise, efficient,...
Antibodies
Definition
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are Y-shaped proteins produced by B cells to identify and neutralize foreign substances like bacteria, viruses, or toxins. They recognize specific molecules called antigens on the surface of these pathogens, marking them for destr...
