Promises, promises.(gene therapy has yet to cure disease in humans)Begley, SHaron
On the face of it, that was bizarre. Only one eye had received the treatment, after all. The virus, it seems, had found a way to travel from one eye to the other, probably via the optic nerve. Although it had a happy outcome in this case, the prospect of a gene-therapy virus tr...
In fact, if gene therapy lives up to its promise, parents may someday be able to go beyond weeding out(筛去) undesirable traits and start actually inserting the genes they want—perhaps even genes that have been crafted(创造) in a lab. Before the new millennium is many years old, parent...
Protein–protein interaction profiling revealed a highly active network involving multiple factors significantly upregulated upon cellular senescence but downregulated once cells were exposed to GSE (Extended Data Fig.3a). Gene ontology profiling revealed that these molecules are functionally engaged in biolog...
Micro- and nanoplastics can interact with various biologically active compounds forming aggregates of which the effects have yet to be understood. To this end, it is vital to characterize these aggregates of key compounds and micro- and nanoplastics. In
The foundation also celebrated in September the opening of a FOXG1 research center at the University of Buffalo, and Zeitzer Johnson said gene therapy trials in mice have shown promising results. The hope is to begin clinical trials in humans by 2026. Last year, she published a children’s...
As children, most of us were taught that since we have been given so much we ought to be humble and grateful and not lord it over people who haven’t been as fortunate in this life time. We were raised on the simple concepts of paap, punya, karma and punarjanam: what goes around ...
000—was 25 times the number of such campaigns on the site in 2011. More than 500 current campaigns are dedicated to asking for financial help for treating people, mostly kids, who have spinal muscular atrophy, a neurodegenerative genetic condition. The recently approved gene therapy for young ...
Eventually scientists will be able to enhance even people. For example, imagine not only correcting your eyesight with gene therapy, but also ensuring that all of your descendants do not inherit your old genes of poor eyesight to. Scientists will one day be able to enhance the memory and inte...
3. Leonard Seymour, a professor of gene therapy at Oxford University, who has been working on the virus therapy with colleagues in London and the US, will lead the trials later this year. Cancer Research UK said yesterday that it was excited by the potential of Prof Seymour’s pioneering ...
