New tRNA tech aims to rewrite rare disease treatment

Drug Target Review

One company leading the charge in this revolution is Alltrna , whose pioneering work in engineered transfer RNA (tRNA) therapeutics is offering new hope for patients with rare genetic diseases. we are first focused on engineering tRNAs to restore protein production in diseases caused by premature termination codons.

Building Korro Bio: A CEO’s Perspective on Innovation and Risk Management

LifeSciVC

The ability of modifying RNA enabled us to sidestep many of the potential risks associated with permanent DNA editing. We aimed to achieve this by modifying and modulating proteins by precisely changing a single alphabet on RNA with the use of an oligonucleotide (think short stretches of chemically modified RNA or DNA).

A Visual Guide to Gene Delivery

Codon

A gene is the essential hereditary unit that passes traits from parents to offspring; a segment of DNA containing instructions for making a specific protein or molecule that performs a particular function in your body. As methods for resolving errors in DNA continue to advance, it has never been easier to fix a broken gene.

The Eternal Life and Art of Maxwell Ardeen

Codon

The inheritors of such a worldview, the artist-researchers of The Tissue Culture and Art Project began exploring the artistic applications of tissue engineering in 1996. They saw their mission as “a pioneering collaboration that explores how tissue engineering can be used as a medium for artistic expression.”

The Magic of Fast Feedback Loops

Codon

In the four years I’ve been working as a machine learning engineer at Dyno Therapeutics , a biotechnology company in Boston, I’ve become increasingly convinced that biologists have an almost masochistic tolerance for difficult and protracted work. Many CROs operate in small, captive markets with high switching costs.

Levers for Biological Progress

Codon

For example, cloning DNA molecules and inserting them into cells — a process required for basically all experiments in molecular biology — takes up to a week of work. Perhaps you’ve seen this chart before, which shows the falling costs of DNA sequencing over the last two decades. If we could get E.

The Silent Architect: How Data Governance Will Decide the Winners and Losers in the AI World

Perficient: Drug Development

The Illusion of Data-Driven Greatness Some time back , I was working on a project where a major trading platform launched a new engine to automate trade surveillance and compliance monitoring. The organization had to suspend the AI engine and return to manual reviews in parallel, a massive operational setback. Dollars were invested.
