Advances in Genetic Medicine May Be Outpacing Some Clinicians’ Understanding, But Pharmaceutical Marketers Can Do Much to Address the Problem

Pharma Marketing Network

Almost two decades after the human genome was sequenced, a trickle of new genetic medicines (i.e., those that modify the expression of an individual’s genes or repair abnormal genes) has entered clinical practice, including 11 RNA therapeutics, 2 in vivo gene therapies, and 2 gene-modified cell therapies.

What the Glycome Can Tell Us About Persistent HIV Infection

XTalks

Studies have identified the presence of two types of HIV-infected CD4+ T cells: ‘Transcriptionally inactive’ cells that do not typically produce viral RNA or viral proteins. Transcriptionally active’ cells in which HIV RNA is actively transcribed to make copies of the virus (despite long-term ART).

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

These platforms all induce double strand cuts in the chromosomal DNA that can be sealed by the cell, leading to a specific gene disruption, or resulting in a new target site for inserting DNA segments. In vivo approaches involve delivering the gene editing components directly into the patient. In one example, Choi et al.

The use of base editing in stem-cell based therapies

Drug Discovery World

Kevin Hemphill, R&D Manager at PerkinElmer’s Horizon Discovery explores how base editing has emerged as an attractive gene editing option for researchers wanting to develop stem cell-based therapies. Adult fibroblasts were cultured in a cocktail of transcription factors to reactivate embryonic gene expression patterns 2.

Synthetic biology tools advancing and accelerating drug discovery efforts

Drug Discovery World

If you want to order gene-length sequences, rather than short oligos for PCR, the waiting times are around two or three weeks at least. Anita Ramanathan outlines four synthetic biology approaches that are improving and accelerating drug discovery. . This way, we can separate erroneous sequences from accurate ones.
