Johns Hopkins Researchers Identify CRISPR Dimmer

The Pharma Data

A naturally occurring system for tuning CRISPR-Cas9 expressing in bacteria, identified in a study published in Cell , could have implications for gene editing therapies as well. In bacteria with unaltered tracr-L, levels of CRISPR-related genes were low. The authors found that tracr-L redirects Cas9 in S.

CRISPR Therapeutics begins natural killer cell cancer tie-up with Nkarta

pharmaphorum

CRISPR’s deal with Nkarta aims to create genetically engineered NK cells, which are harvested and used to create a bank of “off the shelf” cells that can administered to patients like a drug. Nkarta also gets a license to CRISPR gene editing to an unlimited number of its own NK cell therapy products.

Aridis Pharmaceuticals to Present at the ROTH Capital Partners 2020 MedTech Innovation Forum on a COVID-19 Panel

The Pharma Data

These mAbs are already of human origin and functionally optimized for high potency by the donor’s immune system; hence, they technically do not require genetic engineering or further optimization to achieve full functionality.

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

coli bacteria, as well as lambda bacteriophage, can adapt to the alterations in the composition of their nutrient medium. Several diseases are caused by sub-optimal gene expression or through uncoordinated or unsynchronized production of a gene product.

Bacteriophage Therapy: A Promising Solution to Antibiotic Resistance

Advarra

Some have argued bacteria are developing antibiotic resistance faster than we can research, develop, test and approve new antibiotics. One possible solution to antibiotic resistance: bacteriophages (or phages), which are viruses that infect bacteria. Bacteriophages (phages for short) are viruses that infect bacteria.
