Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

Overview of Gene Switch The notion that genes might be turned on and off was discovered several decades ago when studies revealed that E. Gene switches are sites on genes where regulatory molecules can bind to trigger transcription process, leading to expression of a particular gene.

mRNA Therapeutics and mRNA Vaccines Industry: Current Scenario and Future Trends

Roots Analysis

Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule that is complementary to a gene’s DNA. It is important in the process of protein synthesis because mRNA is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA to ribosomes, which then decodes the genetic information into a protein.

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.
