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.

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.
