By combining CRISPR technology with a protein designed with artificial intelligence (AI), it is possible to awaken individual dormant genes by disabling the chemical “off switches” that silence them. The chemical modifications that regulate gene activity are called epigenetic markers. it can be reawakened.

A new study has shed light on the genetic messages encoded by genes within ‘triple negative’ breast cancers (TNBC), and shows they could predict response to chemotherapy. Although immune features remained relatively stable, RNA-based features related to DNA damage repair pathways changed significantly.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has come into focus within the drug discovery and development as an exciting tool to deliver genetic information. mRNA is a molecule made up of a single strand of ribonucleic acid (RNA). Rare diseases are largely treated using gene therapies which employ modified viruses to bring the therapy to the disease cells.

Whilst the cause of DIPG isn’t known, the disease is characterised by specific mutations in genes coding for histone proteins – a family of basic proteins which can associate with DNA due to their positive charges. DIPG is known as a high-grade malignant brain tumour due to both its location and how rapidly it can progress.
