Gene expression delivery tool ‘slides’ instructions into cells

Drug Discovery World

Researchers say they have successfully used a cell’s natural process for making proteins to ‘slide’ genetic instructions into a cell and produce critical proteins missing from those cells. . We wanted to develop a gene expression delivery tool that’s broadly useful in both preclinical and clinical models,” said Blackshaw. .

Genetic biomarkers could personalise therapy for TNBC

Drug Discovery World

A new study has shed light on the genetic messages encoded by genes within ‘triple negative’ breast cancers (TNBC), and shows they could predict response to chemotherapy. The presence of these biomarkers could be used to accelerate the development of more personalised treatments for triple negative breast cancers.

Epigenetics discovery could lead to new class of cancer drugs

Drug Discovery World

A new paper has solved the 20-year mystery of how epigenetic modifications act as traffic lights to control gene expression and could ultimately speed up the development of a new class of epigenetic cancer drugs. Epigenetics is still largely unexplored and referred to as the ‘dark matter’ of the genome.

The epigenetic edge: Harnessing precision medicine’s potential 

Drug Discovery World

Embarking on a new era of medicine The advent of genomics has ushered in the era of personalised medicine, enabling us to analyse the genetic makeup of individuals with unprecedented accuracy. Genetic variations inherited from our parents shape our response to drugs, disease susceptibility, physiology and metabolism.
