(A) Suppressor tRNA readthrough strategy. Natural tRNAs with engineered anticodons are charged with canonical amino acids to enable readthrough of the premature termination codon (PTC). (B) Unnatural ...
Researchers develop a single genome-editing strategy to treat multiple disorders caused by nonsense mutations, promising ...
Genetic diseases that result from truncated proteins can be targeted by so-called nonsense suppression therapies—drugs that prevent protein translation from terminating prematurely. A new ...
Gene editing can repair mutations that prematurely halt protein synthesis, resulting in incomplete peptides that cause various diseases. However, other approaches achieve the same effect without ...
