CRISPR breakthroughs: New solutions for common diseases

Drug Discovery World

Incorporating in vivo pooled CRISPR screens has allowed for the interrogation of thousands of genetic perturbations in cells, leading to the determination of the involvement of molecules (PTPN2, ADAR1, or DHX37) in immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) responsiveness and T cell activation.

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

Roots Analysis

coli bacteria, as well as lambda bacteriophage, can adapt to the alterations in the composition of their nutrient medium. 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.
