Gene expression delivery tool ‘slides’ instructions into cells

Drug Discovery World

Splicing-linked expression design. Two methods currently used to deliver protein-making packages into cells, ‘mini promoters’ and serotype-mediated gene expression, vary widely. We wanted to develop a gene expression delivery tool that’s broadly useful in both preclinical and clinical models,” said Blackshaw. .

Moving the needle of CAR-T beyond oncology 

Drug Discovery World

BS: Genetic tuning, also called epigenetic editing, actively manipulates the epigenetic machinery to influence gene transcription. Orchestrating the naturally occurring conductors of gene expression can shift the functional state of cells and alter gene expression.

Gene editing: beyond the hype

pharmaphorum

Genome editing is an exciting but still nascent field, and companies in the area face as many obstacles as they do opportunities. Then over the next two or three years, gene therapy was accepted as something that companies got involved in, and several biotechs have been bought up by big pharma.”.

Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

These modifications regulate gene expression without changing the sequence or structure of DNA. The tool could also prove to be safer than conventional CRISPR-based gene therapies as it does not involve DNA editing, and thus would not cause potentially harmful off-target genomic changes. Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR.
