Gene transfer agents (GTAs) are unique, phage‐like particles produced by various Alphaproteobacteria that mediate the horizontal transfer of genetic material. Unlike conventional bacteriophages, GTAs ...

Antibiotic resistance is widely recognized as one of the most urgent public health challenges of the twenty first century.

A team led by Tappei Mishina at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) has discovered that parasites manipulate their hosts using stolen genes that they likely acquired through a ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

Antibiotic resistance is widely recognized as one of the most urgent public health challenges of the twenty first century.

A fundamental challenge for cystic fibrosis (CF) gene therapy is ensuring sufficient transduction of airway epithelial cells to achieve therapeutic correction. Vehicles such as lysophosphatidylcholine ...

One problem in gene therapy is that not all genes transfer equally well into the target cells. Researchers have now developed a flexible method to transfer large genes efficiently and without ...

Fred Hutch bioengineer Dr. Matthias Stephan is working to develop a special foam that could help make gene therapy for blood ...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the transfer of genetic material between distinct species, a process that plays a major role in the evolution of a genome. There is an increasing body of evidence for ...

Laboratories are loading mammalian cells and tissues with exogenous DNA more routinely and more successfully than ever before. The means available to deliver the DNA--lipofection, transduction, ...
