Peripheral nerve injuries, often caused by traumatic events such as car accidents, falls or battlefield injuries, can leave patients with long-term weakness, numbness or loss of function. Despite ...

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 ...

SEATTLE — Some of our most challenging health conditions result from genetic disorders like sickle cell disease and certain cancers. Gene therapy is revolutionizing how they're treated, and the Fred ...

Cell and gene therapies are moving towards correcting root causes of diseases. Let's take a look at future cell and gene therapy trends.

LumaCyte today announced that its analytical approach has been included in the newly published International Organization for Standardization (ISO) global standard for gene delivery systems, ISO 16921 ...

The special properties of methylcellulose foam could make it a vehicle for bedside genetic engineering, according to a proof-of-principle study from bioengineers at Fred Hutch Cancer Center. In the ...

A groundbreaking gene therapy trial has successfully restored hearing in individuals with a rare form of congenital deafness.

Decades ago, researchers showed that Down syndrome (also known as trisomy 21), was caused when individuals carried an extra copy of chromosome 21. Down syndrome is also the most common genetic cause ...

A Yale research team has created a new computer tool that can pinpoint when exactly genes turn on and off over time during brain development - a finding that may one day help doctors identify the ...

The treatment targets a specific type of inherited deafness caused by mutations in a gene called OTOF.

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 ...
