lt;pgt;Scientists have successfully reconstructed a virus thousands of years after it became extinct, a development they believe could herald a new step in treating genetic diseases such as cystic ...

In cancer therapy research, scientists harness viruses and gene transfer to trigger immune-driven tumor destruction, offering hope against hard-to-treat melanoma. Study: A virus based vaccine combined ...

Scientists from UC Davis Center for Surgical Bioengineering, the MIND Institute and UC Berkeley’s Murthy Lab are developing ...

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

These are harmless viruses that can carry genes into cells. But the SCN1A gene is too large to fit into conventional AAV vectors, so scientists overcame this hurdle by using a protein fusion mechanism ...

Genethon, a worldwide pioneer and leader in research and development of gene therapy for rare genetic diseases, and Hansa Biopharma, a Sweden-based leader in IgG cleaving enzyme technology announced ...

The UC Davis Department of Ophthalmology has received a five-year, $3.6 million grant from the National Eye Institute to explore a new way to treat vision loss using gene therapy. The research could ...
