Cell-penetrating peptides as a delivery system for oligonucleotides

Drug Discovery World

Currently, only a small number of CPP-based oligonucleotide delivery examples have been reported for in vivo application. Plus, in numerous in vitro experiments, the conjugate has been able to specifically enter ? Unfortunately, the particles formed though this method are unstable in physiological fluids. Nanoparticles 6.

What the Glycome Can Tell Us About Persistent HIV Infection

XTalks

Despite the effectiveness of anti-retroviral therapy (ART) in significantly improving health, quality of life and reducing mortality among HIV-positive individuals, new research shows that persistent infections may be due to the ability of the virus to take refuge in distinct subsets of immune T cells.

Angelman Syndrome Market: Insights Into The Recent Late-Stage Drug Failures And Novel Approaches To Treating This Rare Neurogenetic Disorder

Delveinsight

Usually, only a single copy of the gene is required that too from the mother, however, in cases of AS, either the child does not get any copy, or the child receives two copies – each from mother and father. Angelman syndrome (AS) is a complex genetic rare disorder that affects the nervous system.

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.
