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.

Small RNAs promote wound-healing without scarring

Drug Discovery World

A class of molecules playing a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression and other cellular processes can restore normal skin structure rather than producing a scar, a University of Manchester-led study suggests. The findings offer hope for a solution to the global problem of non-healing wounds, thought to cost between £11.25

Genetic biomarkers could personalise therapy for TNBC

Drug Discovery World

Triple negative cancers are not driven by any of the three molecules that can be blocked by targeted hormone receptor drugs – the HER2 protein and two hormone receptors for oestrogen and progesterone – and so current treatment options are limited.

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).
