Improving viral vector safety for gene therapies

Drug Discovery World

With these therapies, genes can be delivered into cells to replace defective alleles or produce new functional proteins to treat or cure disease. Integrating vectors such as lentivirus stably insert their payload into the host cell genome, which is advantageous for long-term treatment. to 10% in hepatocytes. to 10% in hepatocytes.

Osimertinib Resistance and EGFR Mutations in NSCLC Treatment

Bioengineer

This mutation hinders the drug’s binding to the mutant EGFR protein. Osimertinib, however, can covalently bind to the T790M and cysteine-797 (C797) residue at the protein’s ATP binding site, overcoming resistance mechanisms. In the same study, those with T790M loss had a shorter treatment duration (6.1 months vs. 15.2

Conversations from ESMO Targeted Anticancer Therapies Congress 2024 

Drug Discovery World

More importantly, it also highlighted that significant challenges remain in selecting the right therapies for the right patients despite the progress made through genomic testing and implementation of circulating tumour (ct) DNA analyses. We were there to present the latest findings from our research.

RNA interference method could treat muscular dystrophy

Drug Discovery World

The genetic anomaly blocks the chemical glycosylation of a biologically important protein. Using an experimental technique called exon skipping by antisense oligonucleotides, the team corrected a mistake in the FKTN gene that blocks the chemical glycosylation of a biologically important protein. .

Aptima CMV Quant Assay Gets FDA Nod for Cytomegalovirus Detection in Transplant Patients

XTalks

This diagnostic assay works on the principle of in vitro nucleic acid amplification using real-time transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) technology. The Aptima CMV Quant Assay helps to detect changes in the viral load of the transplant patient to understand the response of the individual to anti-CMV treatment.
