The pandemic propelled the life science and healthcare sectors onto center stage, and they rose to the occasion against the most unprecedented health challenge in recent times. While COVID-19 has undoubtedly been the biggest story in the life science industry in 2020, it was a busy and positive year in many other areas.

Its job is to carry coding information that is essential to the translation and processing of functional proteins. This is essential to its use as a therapeutic agent and gives the technology a vast versatility making it suitable to treating a wide range of diseases – especially those that have high protein expression.

UCSF scientists found that having an additional copy of the sex chromosome gives women two “doses” of a gene found only on that chromosome. The study was published in the journal Science Translational Medicine. The gene, called KDM6A , is a histone demethylase that is believed to function as a tumor suppressor.

Current research is focused on designing CRISPR-enhanced CAR T cells that are resistant to immunosuppressive cytokines such as transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) 2 , programmed cell death protein (PD-1) 3 , or other negative T cell regulators 4 (CTLA-4, LAG-3, and TIM-3), thus improving anti-tumour functions.
