Gene editing: beyond the hype

pharmaphorum

Cutting edge’ is, for once, a truly apt description when it comes to gene editing – both because the field is pushing medicine into areas we might never have dreamed possible, and because these technologies involve literally cutting DNA at a specific point in the genome. Zinc fingers. billion in funding.

Cell-penetrating peptides as a delivery system for oligonucleotides

Drug Discovery World

To address these problems, it’s vital to develop delivery systems that enable oligonucleotides to reach their targets: cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) present a potential solution to this issue. Currently, only a small number of CPP-based oligonucleotide delivery examples have been reported for in vivo application. Nanoparticles 6.

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

Roots Analysis

Overview of Gene Switch The notion that genes might be turned on and off was discovered several decades ago when studies revealed that E. Gene switches are sites on genes where regulatory molecules can bind to trigger transcription process, leading to expression of a particular gene.

What the Glycome Can Tell Us About Persistent HIV Infection

XTalks

The identification of T cells that essentially ‘hide’ the virus has significant implications for developing therapeutic strategies to improve the treatment and long-term management of HIV. This may help explain why HIV is adequately controlled, but not eradicated, with current treatments. The research study was published in Cell Reports.
