New technology enables the insertion of a large segment of DNA into a genome, potentially expanding gene therapy treatment ...

Scientists looked at multiple techniques used to measure the modified viruses deployed in some gene therapy research and treatments. One technique, known as SEC-MALS, was the most precise and accurate ...

Non-viral gene therapies may ease some safety, pricing and manufacturing challenges linked to viral vectors, but experts say both approaches will still have a place.

Researchers from Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester Medical Center have developed a new, more efficient method for gene transfer. The technique, which involves culturing ...

On a special episode (first released on June 20, 2024) of The Excerpt podcast: With the advent of CRISPR as a gene editing technology, there are new opportunities to develop breakthrough treatments ...

Delivery of therapeutic genes is essential for gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are a prime vector for carrying gene cargoes because of their superior gene segmentation flexibility and ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection of interventions that restore tissues and organs damaged ...

One in every 10 people worldwide is impacted by a rare genetic disease but about 50% of them remain undiagnosed despite rapid increases in genetic technology and testing. Even when a person does have ...

Scientists at Keele University have created the first detailed map of the genetic "switches" that control reproduction in ...

Some gene therapy treatments use modified adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) like the one shown here to deliver therapeutic genetic material into a patient’s cells. In a finding with implications for one ...
