New antibiotic could kill resistant pathogens

Drug Discovery World

The researchers also found that Dynobactin kills Gram-negative bacteria, which include many dangerous and resistant pathogens. . The search for antibiotics against this group of bacteria is far from trivial,” said Hiller. Peptides encoded in bacterial genome. And these peptides are encoded in the bacterial genome. .

Guide to using AAV vectors in gene therapy

Drug Discovery World

In 2023, DDW hosted a webinar, ‘A comprehensive guide to using adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors in gene therapy’, supported by Azenta Life Sciences. AAV is optimal for gene therapy due to its efficiency and safety in humans; however, AAV processes can present obstacles for researchers. How is the titer determined?

Exa-Cel CRISPR Gene Therapy for Sickle Cell Disease Deemed Safe by FDA Advisory Panel

XTalks

After spending almost an entire day deliberating the safety of Vertex Pharmaceuticals’ and CRISPR Therapeutics’ CRISPR-based gene therapy exa-cel for sickle cell disease, a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel appears to be satisfied with what it saw. CRISPR works as genetic scissors to edit parts of the genome.

Leading innovators in CRISPR nucleases for the pharmaceutical industry

Pharmaceutical Technology

Innovation S-curve for the pharmaceutical industry CRISPR nuclease is a key innovation area in pharmaceutical development CRISPR, which refers to clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, are bacteriophage-derived DNA sequences that had previously infected the prokaryote and are found in the genomes of bacteria and archaea.
