AI Unlocks “DNA Grammar” for Targeted Gene Editing, Enhancing Gene Therapy, and More
Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory, Broad Institute, and Yale University use AI to identify DNA sequences that control gene activation in specific cells. This AI model decodes patterns in DNA regions called cis-regulatory elements (CREs), guiding synthetic DNA switches for cell-specific gene activity. Early testing in animal models showed succes...

Innovative mRNA Delivery Technique Could Correct Genetic Disorders Before Birth
A recent study from UC Davis and UC Berkeley has unveiled a groundbreaking mRNA delivery method capable of editing genes in fetal brain cells. By administering mRNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles, researchers successfully targeted genetic disorders such as Angelman syndrome before birth. This approach, which minimizes risks of inflammation, of...

New Research Suggests Gene Therapy Could Be Used To Treat Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome
Postnatal gene therapy may be able to prevent or repair many of the harmful effects of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome, a rare genetic condition, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. In an animal model of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome, researchers discovered that restoring lost gene activity eliminates numerous clinical in...

Non-Judicious Use Of Therapies Puts Immune Pressure On Virus: Medical Body
Non-judicious use of therapies, that have not been scientifically established for treating COVID-19, put immune pressure on the virus which can lead to mutations, said Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) chief Balram Bhargava amid concerns over the United Kingdom variant of the coronavirus.

2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Awarded for CRISPR/Cas9 'Genetic Scissors'
Two women scientists - Emmanuelle Charpentier, who is French, and American Jennifer Doudna - won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for creating genetic 'scissors' that can rewrite the code of life, contributing to new cancer therapies and holding out the prospect of curing hereditary diseases.

How Experimental Supercells Cured An Infant's Deadly Genetic Illness
When a person's immune system is impaired by a genetic disease, a bone-marrow transplant can be a powerful therapeutic tool, but with a major downside: during the first few months the recipient's defenses against viruses are severely weakened. The slightest infection can lead to a hospital trip.

Delhi Doctor Charged Rs. 4,500 For "Treating" Gays, Gets Court Summon
A doctor, who terms homosexuality as "genetic mental disorder" and uses electric shock to treat gay and lesbian people, has been summoned by a Delhi court as an accused for violating norms. Though Dr P K Gupta was penalized by the Delhi Medical Council (DMC), he was still indulging in this bizarre practice. The court took note of a complaint agains...
