Risk Assessment for use of Engineered Genetic Materials in Clinical Research

Advarra

The use of engineered genetic materials in clinical trials is rapidly expanding, with potential applications for genetic vaccines, gene-modified cellular therapies, and gene therapies. A key part of the IBC’s evaluation is assessing the risks posed by the engineered genetic materials.

RNA Therapeutics: A Novel Approach to Treating Diseases

Roots Analysis

RNA therapeutics are a novel class of biopharmaceuticals that harness the power of RNA molecules for the treatment and prevention of a wide range of disorders, including oncological, and genetic disorders as well as infectious diseases. Non-coding RNAs include antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and RNA aptamers.

Johns Hopkins Researchers Identify CRISPR Dimmer

The Pharma Data

In the paper, researchers from Johns Hopkins University and elsewhere found a natural long-form transactivating CRISPR RNA (tracr-L) in Streptococcus pyogenes that functions to downregulate its endogenous CRISPR-Cas9 system. But altering the tracr-L with genetic engineering to make it function more like a guide RNA increased CRISPR-Cas9 cuts.

mRNA Synthesis: ManufacturingProcess of Modern Revolutionary Molecule

Roots Analysis

It transfers genetic information form to DNA to ribosomes, a specialized structure, or organelle, which decodes genetic information into a protein. With the help of genetic engineering, synthetic mRNAs can express proteins, as they structurally resemble a natural mRNA.

mRNA Therapeutics and mRNA Vaccines Industry: Current Scenario and Future Trends

Roots Analysis

It is important in the process of protein synthesis because mRNA is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA to ribosomes, which then decodes the genetic information into a protein. Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule that is complementary to a gene’s DNA.

Improving Study Activation Time for Gene Therapy Research

Advarra

Research in gene therapies and genetically engineered drugs and vaccines are growing exponentially, and will only continue to become more popular. When treatments involve recombinant or synthetic nucleic acids, including messenger RNA (mRNA) or viral vector vaccines, additional IBC oversight is necessary.

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

It is worth noting that the transcription factor is responsible for recruiting RNA polymerase to bind to the gene and produce messenger RNA, which is then translated into the protein. An additional level of genetic control is provided by gene switches that are located upstream of the promoter region.
