Leading innovators in CRISPR nucleases for the pharmaceutical industry

Pharmaceutical Technology

Cas, also called CRISPR associated proteins, are a family of nucleases such as Cas9, Cas12a, Cas12b, and CasX that process these sequences. The eukaryotic genome can be cut at any desired position by introducing plasmids containing Cas genes and specifically constructed CRISPRs into eukaryotic cells.

Conversations from ESMO Targeted Anticancer Therapies Congress 2024 

Drug Discovery World

Additional approaches, such as profiling of RNA and proteins, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI), could be key to providing a more comprehensive picture of a patient’s tumour and enable the use of optimised treatments. MT: Why was STORM attending the conference? We were there to present the latest findings from our research.

Are organ-chips the future of preclinical research?

Drug Discovery World

With cues from a diverse population of tissue-specific cell types, extracellular matrix proteins, and biomechanical forces, cells grown in organ-chips closely emulate their in vivo counterparts and replicate tissue-level functions. But can organ-chips entirely replace other models? Not yet, according to Ewart.

Using PK Modeling and Simulation to Plan Studies for Pediatric Patient Populations

Camargo

The typical pathway toward initiating pediatric clinical research begins by gathering data in preclinical in vivo studies and in adult healthy volunteers or patients. If the model does not contain covariates relevant for young patients, they are added to the model based on the known information.

T-cell vaccine for COVID-19 may last longer than current vaccines

The Pharma Data

The current COVID-19 vaccines are designed to trigger an antibody response to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which is vulnerable to mutations that could make the vaccine less effective over time. In their study, the researchers challenged mice with a lethal dose of SARS-CoV-2 and found that 87.5%

OSE Immunotherapeutics Presents OSE-230 as a Novel Agonist Monoclonal Antibody Therapy Triggering Resolution of Chronic Inflammation

The Pharma Data

OSE-230 is an agonist antibody against ChemR23, also known as chemerin chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1), a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed on myeloid immune cells known to modulate inflammation. NANTES, France, Oct. Most anti-inflammatory agents act using a mechanism that blocks pro-inflammation pathways.
