l Complex product formats: Bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, and fusion proteins introduce unique purification challenges. l Gene and cell therapies: Large biomolecules like adeno-associated virus (AAV) or lentiviral vectors are difficult to purify at scale. ...
This approach allows for the insertion of genes encoding viral proteins into suitable expression systems such as bacteria, yeast, or mammalian cells. ...
Adenoviruses are a group of viruses that have gained significant attention in recent years, particularly in the fields of gene therapy, vaccine development, and cancer treatment. With their ability to deliver genetic material into cells effectively, adenoviruses serve as valuable vectors in various biomedical applications. ...
Among various delivery systems, lentiviruses have garnered significant attention due to their ability to introduce genetic material into both dividing and non-dividing cells, making them an ideal vehicle for gene therapy applications. Understanding CRISPR/Cas9 Technology CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) coupled with Cas9 ...
By targeting both of these anti-apoptotic proteins, the combination therapy can overcome resistance mechanisms that limit the effectiveness of single-agent therapies. This combination approach is being explored as a potential treatment for refractory multiple myeloma, a cancer that has proven difficult to treat with traditional therapies. ...
However, studies are exploring potential strategies to stimulate podocyte regeneration or to protect these cells from damage. Approaches such as gene therapy, stem cell treatment, and pharmacological interventions are being investigated as promising avenues for future treatments. ...
By creating cell lines with specific genes “knocked out,” scientists can investigate disease mechanisms, screen drug candidates, and develop gene therapies more effectively. ...
Originally discovered in zebrafish, which can naturally heal heart injuries, this protein was found to activate dormant regenerative genes in human cardiac cells. Experiments in mice demonstrated that administering Hmga1 significantly enhanced heart tissue repair. This discovery opens doors for the development of gene therapies to combat heart ...
Moreover, hMSCs are being investigated for their role in delivering gene therapy. By genetically modifying these cells, researchers aim to enhance their therapeutic potential and target specific conditions more effectively. ...
They play a critical role in RNA interference (RNAi), a biological process used by cells to regulate gene expression and defend against viral infections. The ability to design dsRNA specific to target genes has opened up new avenues for gene silencing technology. ...
