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 ...

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 ...

An innovative method of gene therapy to treat hearing and balance disabilities caused by impaired function of the inner ear ...

Natural DNA is often double-stranded. Yet, there exists another, lesser-known class of interactions between DNA. These so-called normal or reverse Hoogsteen interactions allow a third strand to join ...

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