Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the Whitehead Institute have developed a novel CRISPR-based tool called “CRISPRoff” that can switch off genes in human cells through epigenetic editing without altering the genetic sequence itself. The research was published earlier this month in the journal Cell.

Cash round sets up trial of InteRNA’s microRNA for cancer

pharmaphorum

InteRNA is focusing on the development of gene-silencing drugs based on microRNA, naturally occurring, non-coding strands of RNA that are thought to regulate gene expression in cells.

Using CRISPR to Edit the Epigenome Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the Whitehead Institute have developed a novel CRISPR-based tool called “CRISPRoff” that can switch off genes in human cells without editing the genetic sequence itself. These modifications regulate gene expression without altering the sequence or structure of DNA.

RNA Therapeutics: A Novel Approach to Treating Diseases

Roots Analysis

Coding RNAs include messenger RNA (mRNA) and short interfering RNA (siRNA), which encode proteins and silence gene expression, respectively. In the last few years, researchers have become interested in using in vitro transcribed (IVT) mRNA as a drug delivery agent.
