Pancreatic cancer has a significantly poor prognosis; therefore, the development of effective treatments is an unmet clinical need. The major drawback in this field was the lack of useful model ...

Because the new method can replace a large stretch of defective DNA with a healthy sequence, the same retron-based package can fix any combination of mutations within that stretch of DNA without ...

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 ...

Vector BioPharma AG (Vector BioPharma), a biopharmaceutical company aiming to transform the safety, efficacy, and specificity of drug delivery to improve treatments for patients, today announced that ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, researchers in Japan successfully used a nonviral system to introduce a ...

As a way of treating hemophilia, Japanese researchers have, for the first time, delivered gene therapy directly into the livers of baboons without using a viral carrier. The study’s results indicate ...

However, traditional gene delivery methods, such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and gene guns, are often slow, inefficient, and can damage plant tissues. These highlight the need for more ...

Gene therapy tries to replace, repair, augment or manipulate a patient's own genes with the goal of treating illness. The technique not only can save lives but also can treat chronic conditions such ...
