Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells. However, to be effective, the new gene must make it into a cell's nucleus. The ...

Life Biosciences is pushing cellular rejuvenation into the clinic with ER-100, an experimental gene ...

Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the ...

Scientists from the Centenary Institute and the University of Sydney have made a landmark discovery that could lead to safer and more effective gene therapies for a range of serious genetic disorders ...

Gene therapy drugs have the potential to cure some diseases, but some have a price tag of over a million dollars. Who gets access to them and who doesn't?

A "gene silencer" (technically known as small interfering RNA, or siRNA), locally delivered by nanoparticles embedded in an ...

People looking to lose weight and lower their blood sugar may someday be able to get a single injection that turns their cells into tiny factories churning out a protein that is essentially the active ...

A research team at the University of Osaka has unveiled the molecular mechanism behind genome ejection from adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors, a crucial delivery vehicle in gene therapy. Subscribe ...
