New Member: Welcome in our cluster to Akribion Therapeutics GmbH

Akribion Therapeutics is developing a unique, RNA-guided, nuclease-based technology for programmable cell depletion. Its G-dase® E nuclease has the ability to kill cells by shredding DNA and RNA, but only if there is a highly specific match between the guide RNA and an intracellular RNA sequence. This ensures that only the targeted cells are affected, leaving healthy cells unharmed.
Akribion is exploring applications in oncology, autoimmune diseases, fibrosis, and infectious diseases, as the technology can be quickly adapted to target different biomarkers and cells.

Looking forward to your active participation!

Providing a cellular ‘all-clear’ signal to resume protein synthesis

Providing a cellular ‘all-clear’ signal to resume protein synthesis

Researchers’ newest technologies allow them to discover tiny protein that plays a big role in awakening dormant cells when it’s safe to resume normal operations Summary It’s a tough world for microbes. When resources grow limited and environments worsen, microbes have figured out ways to hunker down and go dormant until conditions improve. However, scientists […]

Scientists uncover thousands of new proteins in ‘dark proteome’

Scientists uncover thousands of new proteins in ‘dark proteome’

An international consortium has found over 1,700 new proteins from noncoding DNA, many of which show potential as targets for cancer immunotherapy In a collaborative effort, scientists in the TransCODE consortium reveal more than 1,700 new proteins that could have implications for human diseases, including cancer. These tiny proteins were found in what’s called the […]

The Plasticity of Malignant Brain Tumors as a Potential Therapeutic Approach: Sibylle Assmus Prize for Neuro-Oncology Awarded to Moritz Mall

The Plasticity of Malignant Brain Tumors as a Potential Therapeutic Approach: Sibylle Assmus Prize for Neuro-Oncology Awarded to Moritz Mall

The ability of cancer cells to change their identity makes tumors such as glioblastoma particularly aggressive and resistant to treatment. Moritz Mall, of the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the Hector Institute for Translational Brain Research (HITBR), is investigating how this plasticity can be specifically restricted. His approach focuses on genetic “guardians” that suppress […]
