New CRISPR-Based Tool Called PASTE Gene Editing Inserts Large DNA Sequences at Desired Sites

XTalks

Expanding upon the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system, researchers at MIT have designed a new technique called PASTE gene editing that can cut out defective genes and replace them with new genes in a safer and more efficient way. The PASTE gene editing technique was recently published in Nature Biotechnology.

Exa-Cel CRISPR Gene Therapy for Sickle Cell Disease Deemed Safe by FDA Advisory Panel

XTalks

After spending almost an entire day deliberating the safety of Vertex Pharmaceuticals’ and CRISPR Therapeutics’ CRISPR-based gene therapy exa-cel for sickle cell disease, a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel appears to be satisfied with what it saw. CRISPR works as genetic scissors to edit parts of the genome.

Regulatory Trends in Cell and Gene Therapies

Advarra

The field of cell and gene therapies (CGT) is constantly evolving, and there has been significant progress in this area of research. However, despite the promise of these therapies, the regulations governing them lag the science, which in turn hinders the clinical translation of these novel medicines.
