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. However, microRNAs can bind to this mRNA, preventing it from functioning.

AI-designed protein awakens silenced genes, one by one

The Pharma Data

By combining CRISPR technology with a protein designed with artificial intelligence (AI), it is possible to awaken individual dormant genes by disabling the chemical “off switches” that silence them. The chemical modifications that regulate gene activity are called epigenetic markers. it can be reawakened.
