Moving the needle of CAR-T beyond oncology 

Drug Discovery World

CAR-T Therapies have revolutionised the field of personalised medicine, especially in oncology. Orchestrating the naturally occurring conductors of gene expression can shift the functional state of cells and alter gene expression. BS: The field of genetic tuning is full of innovation and potential.

New, highly precise ‘clock’ can measure biological age

Scienmag

Using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers at the University of Cologne have developed an ‘aging clock’ that reads the biological age of an organism directly from its gene expression, the transcriptome.
