Spotlighting Lupus Awareness Month: CAR-T Technology Creates New Avenues for Treatment of a Devastating Disease

WCG Clinical

CAR-T Cells Target Harmful B Cells in Lupus CAR-T cell technology, which uses genetic engineering to direct white blood cells to attack specific molecular targets, was originally proposed for treatment of HIV infection and hematological malignancies. WCG has many ways to support cell and gene therapy clinical trials for lupus.

Clinical Catch-Up: January 4-8 | BioSpace

The Pharma Data

The new year began with a fairly low level of clinical trial news. Arcturus Therapeutics got the FDA go-ahead for its Phase II trial of its COVID-19 vaccine candidate ARCT-021. The trial will enroll 600 participants, with 450 receiving ARCT-021 and 150 receiving placebo. FBX-101 is a first-in-human AAV gene therapy.

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

Roots Analysis

Mechanism of Gene Switch During the transcription process, the promoter region, which is located near the upstream end of each gene, binds to transcription factor, which is a specific type of protein. An additional level of genetic control is provided by gene switches that are located upstream of the promoter region.
