Improved genome editing by genetic SD-card
December 2020
Pavlov University, St. Petersburg, Russia
A polymer carrier jointly developed by Russian and Belgian researchers can be loaded with genetic material of different types and sizes, which then is delivered into organs and tissues. This provides possibilities for the general development of non-viral carrier systems as well as for targeted tumor therapy. Regarding the latter, the aim is to use the genetic material on the carrier to eliminate genetic defects and thus cure cancer patients. Proof of efficacy and successful transfer was demonstrated using mesenchymal stem cells obtained from patients at the Raisa Gorbacheva Memorial Research Institute of Children Oncology, Hematology and Transplantation.
