The reductions matched the efficacy of current therapies for ATTR amyloidosis that require chronic dosing such as Alnylam’s Onpattro (patisiran) and Ionis/Akcea’s Tegsedi (inotersen) – both gene-silencing agents which can cost around $450,000 a year. — Eric Topol (@EricTopol) June 26, 2021.

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.”.

Using CRISPR to Edit the Epigenome 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 without editing the genetic sequence itself. These modifications regulate gene expression without altering the sequence or structure of DNA.

Advances in Genetic Medicine May Be Outpacing Some Clinicians’ Understanding, But Pharmaceutical Marketers Can Do Much to Address the Problem

Pharma Marketing Network

those that modify the expression of an individual’s genes or repair abnormal genes) has entered clinical practice, including 11 RNA therapeutics, 2 in vivo gene therapies, and 2 gene-modified cell therapies. This relinquishes many of the perceived benefits of RNAi therapies that distinguish them from gene therapy (e.g.,
