RiboCAR is a synthetic riboswitch-based gene regulation system for precise regulation of CAR expression levels in CAR-T cell therapy via orally available small molecule.

Key Points: 
  • RiboCAR is a synthetic riboswitch-based gene regulation system for precise regulation of CAR expression levels in CAR-T cell therapy via orally available small molecule.
  • We demonstrate that with a bioavailable small molecule inducer, CAR-T activity can be precisely tuned and “remotely” controlled in vivo.
  • However, excessive amounts of transgene from unregulated vectors may limit the breadth of applicability of gene therapy.
  • Collectively, these results show we have established a robust platform to screen engineered promoters for applications to skeletal muscle gene therapies.

Monday, April 24, 2023

SEATTLE, April 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Avalanche Energy, a fusion energy startup developing modular fusion micro-reactors, today announced that it achieved a record of 200 kilovolts in its micro-fusion reactor and closed a $40M Series A round led by Lowercarbon Capital, with major participation from Founders Fund and Toyota Ventures. Also following on their Seed round investment are Congruent Ventures, Grantham Foundation and Clear Path. New participants also included Autodesk, MCJ Collective and the Climate Capital Syndicate. Avalanche recently operated their second prototype reactor at 200 kilovolts making it the highest known operating voltage of any fusion device since the University of Wisconsin at Madison produced 190 kilovolts in a 2006 experiment. The funding, which follows the company's 2021 $5 million seed round led by Prime Impact Fund, will be used to continue the company's accelerated work to test, develop and optimize its high-voltage orbitron prototypes, in addition to miniaturizing components critical to delivering a stand-alone, micro fusion reactor.

Key Points: 
  • Also following on their Seed round investment are Congruent Ventures, Grantham Foundation and Clear Path.
  • Avalanche Energy has been designing, building and testing micro-fusion reactors that are small enough to fit on a desk since 2021.
  • This new round of funding will allow us to scale up to run more tests at a faster pace that will ultimately enable us to deliver energy producing micro-fusion reactors."
  • In May 2022 , the Defense Innovation Unit awarded a prototype contract to Avalanche Energy to demonstrate the next generation of nuclear propulsion and power generation for spacecraft.
