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. .

AI-designed protein awakens silenced genes, one by one

The Pharma Data

By combining CRISPR technology with a protein designed with artificial intelligence (AI), it is possible to awaken individual dormant genes by disabling the chemical “off switches” that silence them. Researchers from the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle describe this finding in the journal Cell Reports.

Scientists uncover a new approach for treating aggressive cancer

The Pharma Data

UNC researchers now show that these two factors can directly associate with one another, modulating cancer-cell-specific programs of gene expression. ” They found that EZH2 possesses two different binding patterns on chromatin in acute leukemia cells, eliciting two distinct gene-regulatory programs (Figure 1). .”

Gene editing: beyond the hype

pharmaphorum

Genome editing is an exciting but still nascent field, and companies in the area face as many obstacles as they do opportunities. Then over the next two or three years, gene therapy was accepted as something that companies got involved in, and several biotechs have been bought up by big pharma.”. The genomic medicine journey.
