Promising drug candidate protects against radiation exposure from nuclear fallout

Posted: Published on January 23rd, 2015

The 2011 Fukushima disaster was a stark reminder of the continuing dangers posed by nuclear fallout, highlighting the need for an approved drug that can be taken after radiation exposure to protect against organ injury and death. A study published by Cell Press on January 22nd in Chemistry & Biology identifies a drug candidate called DBIBB that increases the survival of mice suffering from radiation syndrome, even when treatment started three days after radiation exposure. The findings suggest that DBIBB shows promise for becoming the first drug capable of treating acute radiation syndrome caused by the high levels of radiation released by nuclear explosions. "The 21st Century has presented humankind with unforeseen challenges, including the possibility of radiation terrorism," said senior study author Gbor Tigyi, a professor of physiology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC). "We hope that the scientific community and our efforts will provide protection through medical countermeasures against the harmful effects of ionizing radiation and also help humans to benefit from the useful effects of nuclear technology." Nuclear explosions can expose humans to high levels of ionizing radiation, which can cause cell death and organ injury due to DNA damage. Although some agents tested … Continue reading →

Bringing an end to synthetic biologys semantic debate

Posted: Published on January 23rd, 2015

Editors note: this podcast is part of our investigation into synthetic biology and bioengineering. For more on these topics, download a free copy of the new edition of BioCoder, our quarterly publication covering the biological revolution. Free downloads for all past editions are also available. Tim Gardner, founder of Riffyn, has recently been working with the Synthetic Biology Working Group of the European Commission Scientific Committees to define synthetic biology, assess the risk assessment methodologies, and then describe research areas. I caught up with Gardner for this Radar Podcast episode to talk about the synthetic biology landscape and issues in research and experimentation that hes addressing at Riffyn. Among the areas of investigation discussed at the EUs Synthetic Biology Working Group was defining synthetic biology. The official definition reads: SynBio is the application of science, technology and engineering to facilitate and accelerate the design, manufacture and/or modification of genetic materials in living organisms. Gardner talked about the significance of the definition: The operative part there is the design, manufacture, modification of genetic materials in living organisms. Biotechnologies that dont involve genetic manipulation would not be considered synthetic biology, and more or less anything else that is manipulating genetic materials in … Continue reading →
