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).

Cell-penetrating peptides as a delivery system for oligonucleotides

Drug Discovery World

Oligonucleotides act on the RNA level through different molecular pathways, but there is a major drawback when using them as drugs: their poor bioavailability and cellular uptake. Over the years, a range of different CPPs have been developed, including natural translocating proteins through to newly-designed computer-prediction sequences 3.

RNA Therapeutics: A Novel Approach to Treating Diseases

Roots Analysis

RNA therapeutics are a novel class of biopharmaceuticals that harness the power of RNA molecules for the treatment and prevention of a wide range of disorders, including oncological, and genetic disorders as well as infectious diseases. Non-coding RNAs include antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and RNA aptamers.

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.
