Regulatory Trends in Cell and Gene Therapies

Advarra

Bottlenecks in the manufacturing process, supply chain issues such as accessibility of good manufacturing practice (GMP)-grade reagents, and shortages of qualified scientists and engineers have caused many therapies to fail at critical stages of the clinical development pipeline. But review issues are not the only problems.

CRISPR breakthroughs: New solutions for common diseases

Drug Discovery World

Nucleic acid-based diagnostics, which typically require PCR reagents and laboratory equipment, are crucial for identifying, treating, and preventing common infectious diseases. While type II (Cas9) is mainly used for gene-editing applications, CRISPR detecting tools primarily rely on type V (Cas12) and type VI (Cas13) collateral activity.
