At the Society for Inherited Metabolic Diseases Annual Meeting next week, Jnana will present two posters on our SLC6A19 inhibitor program, including JNT-517, our first-in-class oral treatment in development for phenylketonuria (#PKU). Heike Wobst, Ph.D., Associate Director, Biology, and John Throup, Ph.D., SVP, Head of Development, will share insightful research on our clinical-stage lead program during a poster session on Monday, April 15th. https://bit.ly/3Q1ikJ4 #drugdevelopment #raredisease #genetics

It has been many years since I was co-first author on a paper again. My latest paper was just published on iScience with Cell Press. This work was done at Northwestern University. It's a collaborative, humongous, 53-page paper on toxoplasmosis. I was the one who first screened the library of compounds in the Silverman lab on the enzyme TgO/GABA-AT and discovered many compounds that act as inhibitors or inactivators. The followed collaborative work showed that these compounds can potentially influence merozoite’s capacity to make gametes that fuse to become zygotes, which contaminate environments and cause the disease. Hopefully, this paper will make the discovery of therapeutics toward toxoplasmosis become closer to reality. https://lnkd.in/ehH-JiHR

Our team at the #UMNPDC has developed a sensitive chemical assay to detect and quantify gyromitrin, a toxic compound found in false morel mushrooms. In a recent paper published in eNeurologicalSci. We collaborated with # Prof.Spencer at Oregon Health & Science University, et al. studying a cluster of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases linked to the consumption of false morels in the French Alps. Using our assay, we: Corrected the initial misidentification of the mushrooms as the less toxic Gyromitra gigas species. Confirmed they were the more toxic G. venenata and G. esculenta containing high gyromitrin levels. Showed that most ALS patients had a slow-acetylator genotype, increasing susceptibility to gyromitrin toxicity. Our gyromitrin detection method provides a valuable tool for monitoring this neurotoxic compound and advancing research into environmental triggers of neurodegenerative diseases like ALS. We're proud of this interdisciplinary collaboration combining mycology, analytical chemistry, genetics, and clinical neurology to shed light on this tragic cluster of ALS cases.

A team of scientists from CSIR-IGIB and the L.V. Prasad Eye Institute has developed an advanced genome-editing system that improves upon existing CRISPR technologies by increasing precision and efficiency. CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary gene-editing tool, allows us to modify DNA with incredible accuracy. However, off-target effects have been a challenge—until now. The researchers engineered a new version of the Cas9 enzyme, derived from Francisella novicida bacteria, known as FnCas9. This enhanced FnCas9 has shown remarkable improvements: 🔹 Higher precision in targeting specific DNA sequences. 🔹 Reduced off-target effects. 🔹 Increased efficiency in editing genes, including those related to inherited diseases like Leber congenital amaurosis type 2, a form of blindness. Check out the full document for more details on this groundbreaking work . #GenomeEditing #CRISPR #Biotechnology #Genetics #ResearchInnovation #Healthcare #ScienceAdvancements #CSIRIGIB #LVPrasadEyeInstitute CSIR-IGIB
