CAMP4’s funding influx paves the way for tapping regulatory RNA to treat urea cycle disorders

Pharmaceutical Technology

CAMP4’s CSO David Bumcrot PhD tells Pharmaceutical Technology that the company plans to see clinical trials go forward for their urea cycle disorder programs late next year. However, in patients with urea cycle disorders, genetic defects result in inadequate amounts of the enzymes needed to convert nitrogen into urea.

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. The exact mechanism depends on the disease in question.

Data dive finds cheap diuretic could be Alzheimer’s drug

pharmaphorum

The research has focused on Alzheimer’s associated with an apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) gene variant known to be a major risk factor for late-onset forms of the disease. All told, five drugs emerged with a gene expression signature that the researchers believed might help neutralise the disease, but the strongest candidate was bumetanide.
