RNA Therapeutics: A Novel Approach to Treating Diseases

Roots Analysis

RNA therapeutics are a novel class of biopharmaceuticals that harness the power of RNA molecules for the treatment and prevention of a wide range of disorders, including oncological, and genetic disorders as well as infectious diseases. Non-coding RNAs include antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and RNA aptamers.

Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

These modifications regulate gene expression without changing the sequence or structure of DNA. The tool could also prove to be safer than conventional CRISPR-based gene therapies as it does not involve DNA editing, and thus would not cause potentially harmful off-target genomic changes. Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR.

The use of base editing in stem-cell based therapies

Drug Discovery World

Adult fibroblasts were cultured in a cocktail of transcription factors to reactivate embryonic gene expression patterns 2. Base editing uses a guide RNA in partnership with a nickase version of Cas9, mutated to cut only a single strand of DNA, along with a deaminase enzyme to enable alteration of a single nucleotide 23,24.
