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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

For this analysis, investigators used metagenomic sequencing files from the Gut Bugs trial, a placebo-controlled multidonor fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) trial conducted among adolescents ...

A collaboration of scientists at the University of Manchester and the University of Birmingham has explored a more effective ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
