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...
According to reports, the blockchain platform, which was known as Lianrong, had been designed by the bank, and the receivables had been offered to a pool of investors. The settlement was done peer-to-peer and focused on invoices, which had been paid for at a discount, as is commonly se...
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. ...
For what reasons are humans genetically engineered (gene therapy)? Which mutation is most likely to become fixed? a) neutral mutation in an extremely large population b) a beneficial mutation in an extremely large population c) neutral mutation in an extremely small population d) beneficial mutatio...
Protein-restricted diets promote health and longevity in many species. While the precise components of a protein-restricted diet that mediate the beneficial effects to longevity have not been defined, we recently showed that many metabolic effects of pro
Epoetin alfa has hematopoiesis activity and is therefore used to treat anemia. It binds to both heterodimeric and homodimeric receptors. It has been reported to cross the blood-brain barrier [21]. Therefore, its effects on the central nervous system have been studied in different experimental mode...
The members of the vestigial-like gene family have been identified as homologs of the Drosophila vestigial, which is essential to wing formation. All membe
