Beyond the pandemic: the potential of mRNA technology

pharmaphorum

Previously, messenger RNA (mRNA) therapies were a niche part of the global R&D pipeline, now a wide section of the public is at least familiar with the name of this type of therapy. The company has also stated, at the same time as the study was announced, that it will look at developing mRNA technology in oncology and genetic diseases.

Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

The CRISPR gene editing system consists of the Cas9 enzyme, which serves as molecular scissors to cleave double-stranded DNA, and a guide RNA template targeted to a specific genomic sequence, which allows for precise editing. Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR.

Advances in neuroscience drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

Indeed, we have shown that the causative mutations of some leukodystrophies affect the subunits of an important cellular enzyme, RNA polymerase III, preventing its normal assembly – it turned out that Riluzole can counteract this assembly defect,” says Maxime Pinard, the researcher responsible for the project in Coulombe’s lab. ‘’For
