Enhancing gene therapy with Circio

Drug Target Review

What are the key findings of Circio’s in vivo proof-of-concept for its circVec circular RNA platform technology compared to conventional mRNA-based expression with DNA vectors? Circular RNA (circRNA) has two major advantages versus mRNA in a vector-expression context. DNA vectors in mouse models?

A therapy candidate for fatal prion diseases turns off disease-causing gene

Broad Institute

By Greta Friar, Whitehead Institute June 27, 2024 Images of a mouse brain show the effect of a technology called CHARM in turning off the expression of a gene in the brain. Previous research has shown that as little as 21 percent elimination of the protein can improve symptoms. Credit: Neumann EN, Bertozzi TM, et al.

What Biology Can Learn from Physics

Codon

A zoologist, ecologist, and protein engineer all call themselves “biologists,” but rarely attend the same conferences. Such a model would make it possible to discover protein functions by scraping metagenomic databases , or to create proteins with functions that exist nowhere in nature.
