Breakthrough Technology Solving Cell Therapy Bottleneck
🧬 The emergence of CRISPR-based gene editing has revolutionized cell therapy research. 🔬 However, there is a significant bottleneck in the development and manufacturing of these therapies. ⚙️ Critical to CRISPR-based gene editing is the effective delivery of editing components to target cells. 🔬 Scaling the process for industrial manufacturing is a challenge, especially for therapies that require ex vivo editing of patient cells. ⚡ Electroporation technology, specifically flow electroporation, offers a solution to this bottleneck. 📈 Flow electroporation can transfect billions of cells at a time, providing scalability and process standardization. 💉 This technology is already being used to enable CRISPR-based therapies and has played a critical role in the commercial approval of the first CRISPR-based cell therapy. 🧬 As companies and scientists develop more advanced cellular therapies, flow electroporation will continue to expand access to non-viral approaches. 🌍 While questions remain about the long-term safety and efficacy of genome editing therapies, CRISPR-related technologies offer new avenues for treating diseases.
Boosting Machine Learning in Biotech with Prediction Stability
📚 Researchers have developed an approach to improve machine learning in biological sequence design. 👥 By considering prediction stability, the selection pool of antibodies can be expanded. 💡 This method allows machine learning algorithms to identify diverse sequences unrelated to training data. ⚖️ The approach balances safety and success by finding a middle ground between prediction accuracy and uncertainty. 🧪 Scientists validated this approach by designing antibodies against galectin-3 and successfully expressing a desired sequence. 🔬 The researchers used their own multi-objective optimization software, but any off-the-shelf optimizer can be used. 🌐 This approach can be particularly useful in situations with limited data.
