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. The first problem they had to tackle was the editor’s size, because the editor needs to be small enough to be packaged and delivered to specific cells in the body.

Rapid delivery of toxicological material

Drug Target Review

The current landscape of protein drug development is characterised by accelerated timelines where new drugs are approved in months rather than years. For example, advances in media and feeds have contributed to higher cell protein expression by optimising nutrient availability and reducing accumulation of waste products within a culture.
