What are the advances in Molecular Pathology?
The molecular lesions that cause sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, and other genetic diseases have been determined at the biochemical level. Some of the molecular mechanisms that contribute to the development of cancer have been identified. Rational design of new drugs, such as inhibitors of enzymes necessary for the replication or life cycle of viruses, such as HIV. Bacteria and other organisms can be used as factories to produce high-value proteins, such as insulin and blood cell stimulants.
