There’s no doubt that cell and gene therapies present some of the most exciting opportunities for emerging drugs. Among these include Zolgensma, Novartis’ gene therapy drug for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), which made headlines in the UK for its £1.79 billion, compared to $19.9 million price point per dose. Cancer is king .

Gene switches can be regulatory proteins or specific DNA sequences that act to either switch on or off the expression of a gene. Basic Components of Gene Switch Gene switches are composed of noncoding DNA sequences and transcription factors. These genetic switches assist transcription factors in binding to the promoter region.

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. Reduce/eliminate chromosomal disruptions caused by double-strand DNA breaks. In one example, Choi et al.

This circumvents several technical challenges inherent to the genetic manipulation of differentiated cells in ex vivo culture or intact tissues. In cell therapy, regenerative and adoptive immunotherapies continue to bridge the gap between genetic engineering strategies and their clinical application.
