Using gene therapy to live longer, healthier lives

Drug Discovery World

She discusses with DDW’s Megan Thomas the company’s lead programme; a gene therapy called ER-100. Life Biosciences’ gene therapy approach differs from traditional gene replacement and gene editing approaches in that the company are not altering the DNA sequence.

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.

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.

Why Women with Alzheimer’s Live Longer and Do Better Than Men with the Disease

XTalks

UCSF scientists found that having an additional copy of the sex chromosome gives women two “doses” of a gene found only on that chromosome. The gene, called KDM6A , is a histone demethylase that is believed to function as a tumor suppressor. The Active Gene. One of these doubly active genes is KDM6A. KDM6A Variant.

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 without editing the genetic sequence itself. These modifications regulate gene expression without altering the sequence or structure of DNA.
