Johns Hopkins Researchers Identify CRISPR Dimmer

The Pharma Data

A naturally occurring system for tuning CRISPR-Cas9 expressing in bacteria, identified in a study published in Cell , could have implications for gene editing therapies as well. In bacteria with unaltered tracr-L, levels of CRISPR-related genes were low. The authors found that tracr-L redirects Cas9 in S.

The use of base editing in stem-cell based therapies

Drug Discovery World

Kevin Hemphill, R&D Manager at PerkinElmer’s Horizon Discovery explores how base editing has emerged as an attractive gene editing option for researchers wanting to develop stem cell-based therapies. In addition, iPSC lines, despite their pluripotency, have skewed suitability towards certain cell types 12,13.

Researchers slow down spread of melanoma 

Drug Discovery World

The encouraging study was led by Prof Ronit Satchi-Fainaro and PhD student Sabina Pozzi of the Sackler Faculty of Medicine at Tel Aviv University. Satchi-Fainaro and her team tried to inhibit the expression of the protein and its receptors in genetically engineered lab models and in 3D models of primary melanoma and brain metastases.
