Gene editing in organoids: accounting for complexity in drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

The genome is the blueprint for life, consisting of genes made up of thousands of pairs of DNA bases. Altering one base pair can drastically change how the gene’s protein product functions, while mutations can lead to the development of a range of genetic disorders. . What are organoids? .

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. Adult fibroblasts were cultured in a cocktail of transcription factors to reactivate embryonic gene expression patterns 2.
