Scope and claims summary:

United States Patent 10799481 is a recent development in the field of biotechnology, specifically in areas that encompass the manipulation of individual long non-coding RNA (lincRNA) epigenetic elements to express various targeted functions within the human body.

Scope of Technology:

Patent 10799481 describes the intellectual property claims surrounding long non-coding RNA (lincRNA) manipulation for therapeutic, diagnostic, and prognostic purposes. The technology presented takes advantage of specific properties of lincRNA molecules that are involved in various biological processes to regulate epigenetic modification within human cells. By using targeted gene editing tools such as CRISPR-Cas13 or CRISPR-Cas9, researchers can introduce genetic modifications to specific locations in the lincRNA locus, allowing them to be expressed in human cells as desired.

Key CLAIMS and CHARACTERISTICS:

  • The patent offers a method to modulate inflammation, neoplasia, or cellular regeneration in relation to lincRNA manipulation.

  • Multiple genetically engineered lincRNA constructs that have their biological functions tailored suitably to express desired characteristics are covered within the patent claims.

  • Each genetic element can modulate epigenomic factors to specifically induce targeted expression of immune-related, anti-cancer, or regenerative tissue-related functional genes.

  • CRISPR-Cas13 and CRISPR-Cas9, along with other sequence-specific RNA targeting tools, are described as essential tools for the research presented in patent 10799481.

  • In specific, researchers claim the ability to manipulate long non-coding RNA epigenetic elements in human subjects, enabling epigenetic regulation by altering epigenetic markers.

Limitations and Roadmap:

Limitations surround the broader efficacy and safety of manipulation at a genomic epigenetic level when applying these new tools directly in human subjects. Multiple preclinical and clinical studies that have already begun can help in evaluating claimed benefits, efficacy, and performance in an actual therapeutic environment for specific disease states. Given the ongoing advancements in both areas of genetic editing and epigenetics, as well patent exclusivity periods, targeted research efforts and extensive trials may be necessary in verifying findings from these preclinical research projects.
