Researchers reverse the in vitro and in vivo effects of the mutation that causes Stormorken syndrome

Medical Xpress

They study gene variation and mutations that cause rare genetic diseases. A mutation is a permanent change in the genetic material. That was the case when Thilini Gamage was to carry out one of the studies in her doctoral work with Professor Eirik Frengen at the Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Oslo.

High risk, high reward – the future of CAR-T therapy in CLL

Pharmaceutical Technology

Autologous CAR-T therapy does not easily lend itself to treating CLL, as it relies on extracting functional T-cells from the patient’s blood and genetically modifying them in vitro. From a clinical perspective, CAR-T therapy may not be appropriate for patients who are typically eligible for cell therapies.

Taking an ‘upside-down’ approach to mRNA delivery

pharmaphorum

Ben Hargreaves speaks to Liberate Bio, a company that is hoping to address the delivery issues that could prevent mRNA, as well as siRNA and ASO therapeutics, from reaching their full potential. The pandemic proved that mRNA technology could provide effective protection against infectious disease, at least in the case of COVID-19.

Angelman Syndrome Market: Insights Into The Recent Late-Stage Drug Failures And Novel Approaches To Treating This Rare Neurogenetic Disorder

Delveinsight

Angelman syndrome (AS) is a complex genetic rare disorder that affects the nervous system. Preclinical studies undertaken to evaluate the drug have shown that GTX-102 activates the paternal copy of the UBE3A gene in neurons in vitro, and can ease certain disease symptoms in a mouse model of Angelman syndrome.

Biologics – The Next Step in Revolutionary Medication

Roots Analysis

It is worth mentioning that in vitro gene expression requires a suitable host for the production of a specific gene product. Notably, biologics have higher success rates than conventional small-molecule drugs owing to lesser off-target toxicity of biologics, which is one of the key reasons of failures in small molecule drugs development.
