CRISPR

59.1K
Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced...

Gene Therapy

28.1K
Gene therapy is a technique where a gene is inserted into a person’s cells to prevent or treat a serious disease. The added gene may be a healthy version of the gene that is mutated in the patient, or it could be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the patient’s disease-causing gene. For example, in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) due to a mutation in the gene for the enzyme adenosine deaminase, a functioning version of the gene can be...

Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.

Embryonic Stem Cells00:57

Embryonic Stem Cells

5.9K
Embryonic stem (ES) cells were first discovered in mice in 1981 by Martin Evans. In 1998, James Thomson identified a method to isolate embryonic stem cells from humans. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are obtained from 3-5 day old embryos that remain unused after an in vitro fertilization procedure.
ES cells are grown in a culture medium where they can divide indefinitely, creating ES cell lines. Under certain conditions, ES cells can differentiate, either spontaneously into a variety of...

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Genetics
  • Medical Ethics

Background:

  • Gene editing technologies hold immense promise for treating rare and common diseases.
  • Ensuring the safe, efficient, and equitable development of gene therapies is paramount.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify ethical considerations and regulatory challenges in gene editing therapies.
  • To explore barriers to the development and implementation of gene therapies for precision health.

Main Methods:

  • Multistakeholder workshop and subsequent engagements.
  • Identification and analysis of ethical and regulatory barriers.

Main Results:

  • Eight major themes emerged, including intervention objectives, safety vs. equity, rare disease specifics, pediatric considerations, regulatory oversight, long-term follow-up, data sharing, and communication.
  • Ethical and regulatory barriers impede the development and implementation of gene editing therapies.

Conclusions:

  • Unprecedented collaboration among all stakeholders is essential for the safe and efficient development of gene editing therapies.
  • Ensuring gene therapies are effective, ethically sound, and patient-centered requires a concerted effort.
