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 We wanted to develop a gene expression delivery tool that’s broadly useful in both preclinical and clinical models,” said Blackshaw. .

Elixirgen Therapeutics’ Innovative Approach to mRNA Therapeutics

XTalks

These platforms — Bobcat mRNATM, controllable self-replicating RNA (c-srRNA) and ZSCAN4 delivered by an RNA virus — represent the forefront of genetic therapy, harnessing the power of mRNA to combat diseases at their genetic roots. The essence of the c-srRNA platform lies in its innovative use of temperature as a regulatory mechanism.

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.

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

Inducing double strand breaks at unintended locations in the genome can lead to off-target genetic modifications that are difficult to predict and potentially deleterious. Complicating matters even more, researchers currently lack effective and reliable methods for detecting and measuring off-target genomic events.
