Synthetic Biology Produce Drugs Give Examples Lead Medical

The summary gives three examples of how synthetic biology can lead to better medical treatments: developing genetically engineered bacteria for drug production, modifying mammals for therapeutic proteins in milk, and using nanotechnology for drug delivery.

O resumo dá três exemplos de como a biologia sintética pode levar a melhores tratamentos médicos: desenvolvimento de bactérias geneticamente modificadas para produzir medicamentos, modificação de mamíferos para produzir proteínas terapêuticas no leite e uso de nanotecnologia para entrega de medicamentos.

Back Synthetic biology examples:
  • Develop bacteria using genetic engineering that can produce drugs that are rare/expensive
  • Genetically modify mammals to produce therapeutic proteins in milk
  • Nanotechnology to deliver drugs to very specific sites within cells of pathogens or tumors
