This technology can be utilized to determine and evaluate drug candidates for treatment of parasitic infections.
About
Nematodes are parasitic round worms that infect humans and cause significant issues from anemia, intestinal disease, respiratory disorders, and disfigurement of limbs to ultimately death. Controlling parasitic nematodes can be accomplished by modifying food supply, temperature, and molecular signaling pathways within the organism. This technology inhibits autography genes and blocks the recovery of the organism from cellular damage (i.e. injury) and suppresses growth. This technology could be utilized to determine and evaluate drug candidates for treatment of parasitic infections.
Key Benefits
Treatment and prevention of parasitic infections Use in both human and veterinary pharmaceutical industries Inhibits recovery and propagation of parasites
