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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Some of the most expensive drugs currently in use are gene therapies to treat specific diseases, and their high cost limits their availability for those who need them. Part of the reason for the cost ...

Researchers from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNIST and the Center for Genomic Integrity at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have announced an advance in cancer gene therapy. Their ...

Essentially all cells in an organism’s body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are actively expressed at any given time in a cell determines what type of cell it ...

Complexities like these make it challenging to develop broadly applicable gene therapies for these disorders. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin now have developed an improved method of ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...

Early results from 4,000 babies show that genome sequencing picks up many more serious health conditions than standard newborn screening and is favored by most parents. Early results from a study of ...

The UWA Tech & Policy Lab receives funding from nationally competitive research grants and philanthropic partners. The present research was supported by GA308883: Effective Ethical Frameworks for the ...
