Neurimmune AG has expanded its transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) collaboration with Alexion, Astrazeneca Rare Disease by entering into an exclusive global collaboration and license agreement to develop NI-009, a fibril depleter for light chain (AL) amyloidosis.
The first phase of the U.K. synthetic human genome project has successfully completed, realizing key steps in chromosome synthesis. The work has demonstrated a multistep method for transfecting mouse stem cells with native human chromosomes, where they are stably maintained and can be manipulated to replace native DNA with synthetic DNA. The engineered chromosomes can then be transferred into a human cell in place of the native chromosomes.
