Cellectis, a clinical-stage biotechnology company, will present pre-clinical data on TALE base editors (TALEB) and non-viral gene insertion at the European Society of Cell and Gene Therapy 31st annual congress in Roma, Italy, from October 22-25, 2024. Two posters will be showcased:
1. 'Controlling C-to-T editing with TALE base editors' by Alexandre Juillerat, Ph.D., on October 24. This study enhances understanding of TALEB and allows for the design of efficient and specific tools potentially compatible with therapeutic applications.
2. 'Circular Single-Stranded DNA Enables Efficient TALEN-Mediated Gene Insertion in Long Term HSC' by Julien Valton, Ph.D., also on October 24. This research demonstrates that circularizing ssDNA increases gene insertion rates in long-term HSCs and may enhance their engraftment capacity in preclinical murine models, advancing non-viral gene therapy.
