Gene Editing Produces Non-Browning Avocado

Researchers from the California-based GreenVenus LLC biotechnology company successfully modified a crucial gene associated in the browning of avocado flesh. The new trait is expected to extend the shelf life of the gene-edited avocado thereby reducing food waste without sacrificing good taste and nutritional content.

The gene-editing tool mitoARCUS has been precisely fine-tuned to reduce m.3243A>G mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) without harming wild-type mtDNA or nuclear DNA in vitro and in vivo, which paves the road to the first human trials.

CRISPR Therapeutics is discontinuing the development of two, off-the-shelf CAR-T treatments for blood cancer, shifting to “next generation” versions of the products that have the potential to be more effective. The company also plans develop a CAR-T treatment for the autoimmune disease lupus.

Are we sure mRNA can disrupt the flu?
The Covid-19 pandemic was a historic proving ground for mRNA technology, making billions of dollars for the handful of drugmakers that rapidly developed vaccines. Now, with demand for booster doses waning, the biggest names in the mRNA business have shifted their attention to a perennial market: annual influenza vaccinations.

But, as STAT’s Helen Branswell reports, there’s no guarantee that what worked for Covid will translate to the flu. On the plus side, the speed at which mRNA vaccines can be made could shorten the lead time of each year’s race to predict the most worrisome flu strains. But the side-effect profile of mRNA vaccines could dampen demand, and there are unresolved questions about how much the companies will charge — and how much the market is willing to pay.[

Pfizer, Moderna, GSK, and Sanofi are all betting mRNA can prove itself in the flu. It’s of existential importance to Moderna, whose declining Covid-19 revenues have cut the company’s share price nearly in half in 2023./QUOTE]

Recent research has shown it’s possible to use DNA and its attendant microbiological architecture as a storage medium for arbitrary information.

Imagine hidden information used by organizations as spys or maps or idek...

Arbitrary... Money ... The possibilities.... Seattle! Ugh. Evil.
