Gene Therapy and Pharmacokinetics

Camargo

It is a comprehensive term which encompasses a large variety of therapy products including viral and bacterial vectors, plasmid DNA, human gene editing technology, and patient-specific cellular gene therapy. Additionally, gene editing allows us either to remove or to modify harmful genes.

World AIDS Day 2023: New and Promising Treatments for HIV/AIDS

XTalks

Its mechanism of action involves blocking the protein shell (capsid) of the HIV-1 virus, disrupting multiple crucial stages of the viral lifecycle. In 2021, the FDA granted approval to San Francisco-based Excision BioTherapeutics to start trials assessing CRISPR gene editing as a potential treatment for HIV.

Beyond the Pill: The Rise of Biologics and the Evolution of Pharmaceutical Therapies

Cloudbyz

Understanding Biologics: Biologics are a class of therapeutic agents derived from living organisms, such as cells, tissues, or proteins. Unlike traditional small molecule drugs, which are chemically synthesized, biologics are produced through complex biotechnological processes, often involving recombinant DNA technology.

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

As gene editing technologies like CRISPR progress toward clinical study, researchers must continue to advance new approaches and address inherent challenges, explains Jon Chesnut, PhD, Senior Director, Cell Biology R&D, Thermo Fisher Scientific. Early phase clinical trials for gene editing therapies.

Who are the AACR Scientific Achievement Award winners?

Drug Discovery World

He is being recognised for his revolutionary contributions to developing the first gene-edited cell-based therapy for cancer that involves the genetic re-engineering of a patient’s own T cells to combat their disease, and for demonstrating that adoptive T-cell therapy can induce remission and in some cases cure patients with advanced cancer.

National Cancer Research Month: Celebrating drug discovery innovation

Drug Discovery World

At PhoreMost, we have been particularly excited about the emergence of targeted protein degradation (TPD) as a new therapeutic modality. The concept of harnessing the ubiquitin-proteosome system to ‘destroy’ or degrade disease causing proteins has been established for some time.
