In a step forward for genetic engineering and synthetic biology, US researchers have modified E coli bacteria to be immune to infection by all natural viruses tested so far. The team used two safeguard methods to prevent the bacteria and their modified genes from escaping into the wild.

The RNA Revolution: From mRNA Vaccines to RNA Editing. The age of RNA is officially here, and it’s here to stay as more than a passing life science trend. RNA technology is not new nor has its potential been surprising. RNA in the Making. So why did this perceived RNA ‘revolution’ take so long?

In the event of an attack from similar bacteriophages, the bacteria can recognise these segments and use this to discern and cleave the viral DNA, which disrupts the viral gene function. Bacterial RNA is replaced by a synthetic guide RNA (gRNA) that can recognise a specific target DNA sequence.

Viruses and bacteria can be first modified to prevent them from causing infectious diseases and then implemented into human tissues as therapeutic gene vectors. For example, it is beneficial to administer RNA treatments for some lung diseases directly to the disease site through inhalation. Route of Administration Considerations.

Current research is focused on designing CRISPR-enhanced CAR T cells that are resistant to immunosuppressive cytokines such as transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) 2 , programmed cell death protein (PD-1) 3 , or other negative T cell regulators 4 (CTLA-4, LAG-3, and TIM-3), thus improving anti-tumour functions.

coli bacteria, as well as lambda bacteriophage, can adapt to the alterations in the composition of their nutrient medium. Further, the expression of any gene is dependent on the rate at which it is transcribed into mRNA and translated into proteins. When activator binds to the operon, it either speeds up or permits gene expression.

SARS-CoV-2 is characterized by an outer surface speckled with spike proteins, giving it a crown-like appearance, hence the name “corona,” which is the Latin word for crown. The spike protein is critical for binding to ACE2 receptors on host cells — this interaction mediates the entry of the virus into cells.

The immune system typically identifies foreign entities such as bacteria and viruses and activates lymphocytes such as T cells to destroy them with overwhelming force. To overcome this evasion tactic, the CAR protein was developed to recognise other markers on cancer cells. Identifying the right CAR T cell target.
