Thanks @bkleinstiver.bsky.social . Always enjoy the ride with you scientifically. And giving your cool editing systems a “smooth ride”! ;)
In vivo base editing via AAV9 or a smooth muscle cell tropic capsid AAV-PR (@casey-maguire-lab.bsky.social) substantially extended lifespan of treated MSMDS mice (+ key phenotypic changes). Notably, most AAV-ABE treated MSMDS mice died from bowel impaction, which should be avoidable in human.

Optimization of a bespoke base editor to treat a severe pediatric vascular disease! 🫀🧬
Our manuscript describes:
1️⃣ Engineering a target-specific BE🧬
2⃣ A *must avoid* bystander edit that occurs with WT SpCas9 BEs! 🙅‍♂️
3⃣ Extension of lifespan after in vivo editing! 🐁✅

David Corey is one of the most brilliant scientists I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Cutting funding to scientists like him is going to hurt our country in so many ways including its standing in the world as well as economically. Not to mention the health of our citizens. All for what?

A troubling moment for the next generation of scientists.

UMass Chan Med School is rescinding dozens of PhD offers in biomedical sciences due to fears over federal research funding cuts.

Our new publication characterizing the function of extracellular vesicle-associated AAV (EV-AAV) vectors is out!

We have developed the EV-AAV platform for several years, yet there is still much to learn about the unique AAV-based system.
