In vivo CRISPR/Cas9 Therapy Prevents Arrhythmias in Model
Delivery of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing tool via an adeno-associated viral vector (AAV) directly to heart cells in a mouse model of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia was found to efficiently and specifically prevent development of arrhythmias. More...14 Nov 2018


Immune Sensitivity Hampers Clinical Applications of CRISPR/Cas9
Findings presented in a recent paper suggest that use of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing tool in clinical settings may be more complicated than previously thought, since most people have a pre-existing immune sensitivity to proteins from the bacterial source of Cas9. More...12 Nov 2018



Novel CDK9 Inhibitor Prevents Cancer Growth
Blocking the activity of cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) has been shown to be a way to reactivate tumor suppressor genes silenced be growing tumors, which could spur development of chemotherapeutic agents designed to specifically target this enzyme. More...06 Nov 2018
