Conversations from ESMO Targeted Anticancer Therapies Congress 2024 

Drug Discovery World

Additional approaches, such as profiling of RNA and proteins, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI), could be key to providing a more comprehensive picture of a patient’s tumour and enable the use of optimised treatments. MT: Why was STORM attending the conference? We were there to present the latest findings from our research.

When properly regulated these cellular features—proliferative capacity and receptor-directed specificity—largely account for the effectiveness of our adaptive immune system in protecting us from infectious disease. The currently approved CD-19 CAR products are autologous, ex vivo cellular therapies.

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

Roots Analysis

It is worth noting that the transcription factor is responsible for recruiting RNA polymerase to bind to the gene and produce messenger RNA, which is then translated into the protein. Negative Gene Regulation: Repressor is a protein molecule that initiates negative regulation.

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

Prime editing, while also employing a single strand nick, expands this scope to all 12 possible changes using a more complex prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA). Improve delivery: Clinical translation of gene therapy is dependent on the efficient and safe delivery of gene editing tools into cells, and this can occur either ex vivo or in vivo.
