Gene editing extends lifespan in mouse model of prion disease

Broad Institute

His lab had just developed base editing, a gene-editing approach that makes single-letter changes in DNA and can shut down protein production using strategies including installing a stop signal in the genetic code. They then administered the AAVs to mice infected with the human prion protein.

Article FDA Thank You Draft guidance on potency assays for CGT products garners extensive stakeholder input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

Beyond Steel Tanks

Codon

In the case of semaglutide, those cells are Saccharomyces cerevisiae— also known as Baker’s yeast — engineered to secrete a peptide precursor that is later purified, chemically modified, packaged into an injectable or tablet form, and then shipped around the world. Continuing this method may not scale.

Codon Digest: Discovering Antibiotics with Deep Learning

Codon

The wild-type IscB protein only has 500 amino acids. This means that IscB base editors might be easier to package inside of AAVs, which can only store 4,700 bases of DNA for gene therapies. 3/ Cell Membrane Editor A cell is a lipid shell with lots of DNA, proteins, and RNA molecules inside. This paper is a big deal!
