After 48 weeks of treatment, TPN-101 reduced the levels of neurofilament light chain and interleukin 6, both key biomarkers of neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation in PSP. The Food and Drug ...

The findings were published in the journal Nature ("Structural basis for pegRNA-guided reverse transcription by the prime editor"). Overall structure of the prime editor complex. (Image: The ...

HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors remain a cornerstone of antiretroviral therapy, targeting the enzyme responsible for converting viral RNA into DNA. This class of drugs, particularly nucleoside ...

Surface model of SpCas9–reverse transcriptase–pegRNA–target DNA complex. The prime editor, composed of a SpCas9 and a reverse transcriptase, reverse transcribes template sequence in pegRNA, resulting ...

Because CRISPR news tends to focus on the applications of genome editing—such as treating genetic diseases or improving food—it may be easy to forget that the system is, at its core, used by bacteria ...

Retrotransposons are mobile genetic elements that replicate through an RNA intermediate and integrate into host genomes via specialised mechanisms. Among these, non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) ...

New research has determined the spatial structure of various processes of a novel gene-editing tool called 'prime editor.' Functional analysis based on these structures also revealed how a 'prime ...
