Researchers develop new way to safely insert gene-sized DNA into the genome
Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient’s cells. However, most genetic disorders are caused by dozens or even thousands of unique mutations spread across a gene; this diversity results in challenges of scale when it comes to developing customized therapies for many individuals. A more universal strategy could involve the precise insertion of an entire copy of a healthy gene into a specific location in the genome, which could, in principle, provide a single, widely applicable treatment for all patients irrespective of their mutation within that gene.
Taking a step towards developing genetic therapies at scale, researchers from Mass General Brigham and colleagues describe a novel, non-toxic approach for inserting gene-sized DNA in a study published in Nature.

Trump's divisive FDA vaccine regulator self-destructs, will exit agency (again)
It's unclear what Prasad's FDA exit means, but some drug makers are happy to see him go.
`These data set the stage for a potential therapeutic strategy using antisense oligonucleotides to promote isoform switching in patients with RTT who carry partially functioning alleles of MECP2.`
