The malignant pediatric brain tumor medulloblastoma is driven by proteins deep within the cancer cells, for which there are ...

Encoded in our DNA are thousands of genes. Working together, they determine all sorts of physical attributes—from eye color and blood type to the number of limbs we have—and much, much more. It’s also ...

In a first for adults in Singapore, scientists are conducting gene editing trials on heart patients to correct defects at their genetic source.

Over the past few decades, there has been remarkable progress in genetic manipulation technologies, bringing us closer to the point where genes can be modified in vivo. Such tools would open up the ...

In a significant stride for regenerative medicine, scientists have managed to reverse kidney damage in mice using innovative ...

Gene therapy for some diseases, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), can be tricky because the needed gene is often too large to fit inside the viral vector used for delivery. Researchers at ...

Despite the best efforts of modern medicine, Huntington’s disease is a condition that still comes with a tragic prognosis.

A Greer couple is hosting a fundraiser to support a costly gene editing procedure for their two children, who suffer from a ...

For more than a decade, the strongest AIDS drugs could not fully control Matt Chappell’s HIV infection. Now his body controls it by itself, and researchers are trying to perfect the gene editing that ...

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 ...

In a finding with implications for one of the most promising cutting-edge medical treatments, researchers evaluated several measurement techniques commonly used in gene therapy. The study determined ...
