A scientist at Oregon State University has demonstrated in a mouse model that it’s possible to prompt the production of a protein that can block multiple variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from entering cells and causing respiratory disease. . This prevents the virus from latching onto cells in the host’s airway. .

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!
