Turning science into business: Amplifying mRNA by targeting regRNAs

Drug Discovery World

DS: CAMP4 leverages research from co-founder Richard Young on how regulatory RNA (regRNA) molecules control the expression of genes. JMB: Regulatory RNAs (or regRNAS) are molecules that directly control the expression of nearby protein-coding genes. DS: You describe your therapeutics as RNA Amplifiers. How do they work?

Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the Whitehead Institute have developed a novel CRISPR-based tool called “CRISPRoff” that can switch off genes in human cells through epigenetic editing without altering the genetic sequence itself.
