Because of AAV's specialized gene therapy advantages, researchers have created an altered version of AAV termed self-complementary adeno-associated virus (scAAV). Whereas AAV packages a single strand of DNA and must wait for its second strand to be synthesized, scAAV packages two shorter strands that are complementary to each other.
Self-complementary adeno-associated virus (scAAV) is a viral vector engineered from the naturally occurring adeno-associated virus (AAV) to be used as a tool for gene therapy. [1] Use of recombinant AAV (rAAV) has been successful in clinical trials addressing a variety of diseases. [ 2 ]

Transgene was founded in 1979, on the initiative of Pierre Chambon and Philippe Kourilsky. Jean-Pierre Lecocq was the first Scientific Director of Transgene in 1980. [2] Dr Alessandro Riva, MD, joined Transgene in 2022 as Chairman of the Board of Directors. In May 2023 the board appointed him Chairman adn Chief Executive Officer of the company ...
Onasemnogene abeparvovec is a biologic drug consisting of AAV9 virus capsids that contains a SMN1 transgene along with synthetic promoters. [5] Upon administration, the AAV9 viral vector delivers the SMN1 transgene to the affected motor neurons, where it leads to an increase in SMN protein.
Former Johnny and Associates talent and company vice president Takizawa announced on 21 March 2023 on his Twitter the establishment of a new company. [5] He also said he was to seek new talent for the company. On 2 July 2023, the first of the talents of the new company was presented to the public.
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) based genome engineering is a genome editing platform centered on the use of recombinant AAV vectors that enables insertion, deletion or substitution of DNA sequences into the genomes of live mammalian cells.
GenScript Biotech, fully known as GenScript Biotech Corporation, usually referred to as simply GenScript, is a New Jersey–based biotech company. [3] [4] [5] It was co-founded in 2002 in New Jersey by Fangliang Zhang, Ye Wang, and Luquan Wang. [6] The company mainly provides life science research application instruments and services. [7]
