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.

Kerstin Pohl , Senior Global Marketing Manager, Gene Therapy & Nucleic Acid at SCIEX, looks at the application of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for analysing host cell proteins. Host cell proteins (HCPs) – proteins derived from the host cells used for viral production—are one class of process-related impurities.

Gene editing tools such as zinc finger nucleases, transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) nucleases have been heralded for their enormous potential to treat diseases and genetic disorders. In one example, Choi et al.

Many millions of people have recently been vaccinated against Covid 19 with a genetically modified viral vector (a recombinant adenovirus expressing a Covid 19 protein). This genetic vaccination is an extension of the gene therapy modality,” says Francis. .

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.

1 August was first chosen as World RNA Day in 2018 as a play on AUG (adenine, uracil and guanine), a triple sequence of RNA (called a codon) that initiates protein synthesis by the cell. Since then, it has been observed to publicise the importance of this molecule in the generation of proteins in the body.

Roche has got an authorization from the FDA for a more accurate COVID-19 blood test capable of measuring the levels of specific antibodies, which target the cell-unlocking spike protein of coronavirus. Ovid showed a phase 2 data on OV101 in Angelman, a genetic nervous system disorder, in 2018.

The test valuates mitochondrial DNA levels. When mitochondrial DNA, normally found inside cells, in the mitochondria, spills into the bloodstream, it signals that a particular type of violent cell death is occurring. They measured the patients’ mitochondrial DNA levels on the first day of their hospital stays.

The vaccine produced an immune response of all 805 clinical trial participants within two months of inoculation, according to results published Jan. The new vaccine is made up of a deactivated cold virus into which scientists cut-and-paste a genetic version of the “spike” protein used by the coronavirus to infect cells.
