Discovery of MicroRNA Genetic Regulation Leads American Scientists to Win 2024 Nobel Prize

XTalks

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to American scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their groundbreaking discovery of microRNA (or miRNA) and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. This control plays a critical role in development and cellular function.

EHA 2023: Kura Oncology’s menin inhibitor ziftomenib shows impressive Phase I results

Pharmaceutical Technology

Ziftomenib targets the menin-KMT2a protein-protein interaction that may occur in patients with KMT2ar or NPM1m genetic alterations. The aberrant protein complex is essential for regulating leukaemia-promoting gene expression. Thus, targeting menin may be an effective strategy for patients with high unmet needs.

Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the Whitehead Institute have developed a novel CRISPR-based tool called “CRISPRoff” that can switch off genes in human cells through epigenetic editing without altering the genetic sequence itself. It’s a great tool for controlling gene expression.”.
