Gene therapy = fountain of youth in mice
For the first time, scientists have used gene therapy as an anti-aging treatment and generated some success in mice.
How do you make a deaf mouse hear? Emory University tries gene therapy
Researchers at the Emory University School of Medicine are part of the way toward figuring out a method that could eventually work.
Stem cell/gene therapy holds HIV at bay in mouse trials
Scientists have successfully transplanted anti-HIV stem cells into mice that served as surrogates for infected patients. Bigger still, however, the process successfully expanded and safeguarded HIV-resistant immune cells, and the cells themselves kept growing even when confronted with the virus.
U.K. CF gene therapy trials to test inhaled and viral delivery options
A cadre of U.K. researchers will begin a mid-stage trial later this month for a cystic fibrosis gene therapy delivered to the lungs with a nebulizer. They'll also begin a laboratory trial using a more advanced version of the same drug designed to ride in a modified virus to reach its target.
U.K. green lights study of pioneering gene therapy against cystic fibrosis
Researchers in the U.K. plan to launch a mid-stage clinical trial this month for an inhaled gene therapy to combat cystic fibrosis.
AMT's Glybera, delivered through virus, faces Euro reg delay
European regulators have slammed on the breaks and delayed an approval decision for Amsterdam Molecular Therapeutics ' Glybera, a gene therapy delivered by an altered virus for patients with a rare
Gene therapy appears to work for hemophilia B patients
After 20 years of frequent setbacks in the gene therapy field, scientists have shown--in a handful of patients with hemophilia B--that gene therapy can work for a long period of time. They proved...
Gene therapy study offers proof of potential breakthrough on hemophilia
A transatlantic team of investigators has presented some promising--though very early stage--breakthrough data on a new gene therapy for hemophilia B. The investigators say that their gene therapy
Gene therapy boost in mice blocked HIV virus
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology and elsewhere may have found a way to prevent HIV. They used a form of gene therapy to successfully block mice from contracting the deadly virus,
Scientists find new pulse on gene therapy delivery
While the researchers' new technique hasn't advanced enough to deliver drugs, a team at Ohio State University has invented a system that used electric pulses to send pieces of DNA into cells in a lab
