In recent years, the field of gene editing has experienced groundbreaking advancements, with CRISPR/Cas9 emerging as a powerful technology for precise genetic manipulation. Among various delivery systems, lentiviruses have garnered significant attention due to their ability to introduce genetic material into both dividing and non-dividing cells, making them an ideal vehicle for gene therapy ...
Polymers play an important role in the biomedical field, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) and its derivatives are among the multifunctional polymers that have attracted much attention. PEG is a synthetic macromolecule with a linear structure consisting of glycol units (-CH2CH2O-) repeatedly linked. Its unique properties give PEG a wide range of applications. PEG is soluble in organic solvents and ...
What are AAVs? and what makes them good candidates for gene therapy? Introduction In the first part of our three part series introducing AAV as a gene therapy vector, we talked about basic AAV vector biology. In this post, we’re going to take a step back to answer the question of “Why AAV?” and look at some opportunities in the AAV engineering space. Why AAV? Viral vectors ...
What are AAVs? and what makes them good candidates for gene therapy? In two previous posts, we introduced gene therapy, a method for curing genetic diseases by providing healthy copies of defective genes, and Adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsids, the gene therapy delivery system Dyno focuses on. In those posts, we also discussed how natural variants of AAV did not evolve for the specialized ...
