Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are actively expressed at any given time in a cell determines what type of cell it ...

Ori Biotech has lassoed a significant milestone for its space- and cost-efficient cell and gene therapy manufacturing platform. The FDA has granted the company’s IRO platform an Advanced Manufacturing ...

While the process via which different types of neurons are produced, also known as neurogenesis, has been the focus of numerous neuroscience studies, its genetic and biological underpinnings in humans ...

Single cell gene expression studies often rely on single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) alone. While scRNA-seq reveals which genes are turned on, it does not capture protein expression or changes to ...

It may be time to rethink certain genetic mutations associated with two devastating neurodegenerative disorders—amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD)—according to a new ...

A man with type 1 diabetes has become the first patient to produce his own insulin after receiving genetically engineered cell transplants, without needing drugs to prevent rejection. The case, ...

This story is the first in an occasional series following Louisiana’s first patients to receive gene therapy for sickle cell disease. On the third floor of Manning Family Children’s Hospital in New ...

What just happened? The dream of a cure for type 1 diabetes may have taken a step closer after a man with the disease received a transplant of genetically altered pancreatic cells that allowed his ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...

After launching an expanded incubator for early-stage biotechs late last year, Charles River Laboratories is now looking to give participants access to crowdsourced cash. The CRO is working to secure ...

The cell and gene therapy industry has achieved breakthroughs once thought impossible, translating novel concepts into real therapeutic options for patients. The FDA has now approved 43 cell and gene ...
