Drug Target Review – Issue 3 2020
This issue includes articles that explore how a next-generation genomics platform can be used for COVID-19 research, the elimination of neutralising AAV antibodies for gene therapies and a new quick and cost-effective biomarker technology for cancer diagnostics. Also in this issue are features on antibody therapeutics for COVID-19 and targets…

Study maps how COVID-19 infects various organs in the body
By analysing the expression of 28 genes, researchers have been able to identify which organs are most vulnerable to infection from COVID-19.

Finding order in the chaos of cancer mutations
Scientists observed that different cancers undergo the same genetic mutations at similar stages of evolution, the findings could become part of an ‘evolutionary rule book’ which would theoretically enable the prediction and prevention of cancer’s next evolutionary move.

Genetic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 reveals one vaccine could combat all infections
A genetic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 sequences reveal the virus has mutated minimally since December 2019, suggesting only one vaccine is needed to combat COVID-19.
