Gene editing: beyond the hype

pharmaphorum

Cutting edge’ is, for once, a truly apt description when it comes to gene editing – both because the field is pushing medicine into areas we might never have dreamed possible, and because these technologies involve literally cutting DNA at a specific point in the genome. Zinc fingers. billion in funding.

What the Glycome Can Tell Us About Persistent HIV Infection

XTalks

The identification of T cells that essentially ‘hide’ the virus has significant implications for developing therapeutic strategies to improve the treatment and long-term management of HIV. This may help explain why HIV is adequately controlled, but not eradicated, with current treatments. The research study was published in Cell Reports.

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

Roots Analysis

Overview of Gene Switch The notion that genes might be turned on and off was discovered several decades ago when studies revealed that E. Gene switches are sites on genes where regulatory molecules can bind to trigger transcription process, leading to expression of a particular gene.

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

These platforms all induce double strand cuts in the chromosomal DNA that can be sealed by the cell, leading to a specific gene disruption, or resulting in a new target site for inserting DNA segments. Gene editing tools can sometimes bind to unintended sites, typically because of sequence homologies and/or mismatch tolerance.
