Key considerations before commencing cell line development

Drug Target Review

After binding, the transposase enzyme will excise the flanked section of DNA (termed the transposon) and insert it into sites in the genome at specific target sequences. An example of the former includes a report in the journal Nature of a new tool that can increase the amount of DNA that can be inserted using CRISPR-Cas9 technology.

Traditional Meat Industry’s Beef With Alternative Protein Continues with the FAIR on Labels Act

FDA Law Blog: Biosimilars

Gaulkin & Riëtte van Laack — As readers of this blog know, there is a lot of contention about the naming of alternative protein products (APPs), including both plant-based and cell-cultured alternatives for (traditional) animal products. By Sophia R.

Proteogenomics reveals markers of chemotherapy resistance and outcome in triple negative breast cancer

Broad Institute

Data from standard DNA and RNA sequencing approaches were integrated with mass spectrometry-based proteomics and phosphoproteomic analyses to derive more complete molecular portraits of treatment-responsive versus treatment-resistant tumors. "The These data suggest a multi-omics predictor for chemotherapy response is within reach.

A Look Back

Dark Matter Blog

As soon as I learned about DNA and RNA, I wanted to be a molecular biologist. Last stops at RNA My last roles in biotech were where my original passion began: DNA and RNA. 49 years ago, when I was 16 years old, I wanted to do exactly what I am doing now. The only subject in school that held my interest was biology.

Gene editing extends lifespan in mouse model of prion disease

Broad Institute

The treatment, which uses base editing to make a single-letter change in DNA, reduced levels of the disease-causing prion protein in the brain by as much as 60 percent. In 2018, Liu, who works on the same floor as Minikel and Vallabh at Broad, approached them and proposed a collaboration.

Article FDA Thank You Draft guidance on potency assays for CGT products garners extensive stakeholder input

Agency IQ

Cell-based assays , while more complex to develop and use, offer another option for characterizing product activity at a slightly higher level, allowing sponsors to measure the further downstream effects of products (e.g., morphological cell changes or alterations in protein production or expression).
