Researchers in the lab of Hans-Peter Kiem, MD, PhD, at Fred Hutch Cancer Center have devised a method that could one day treat genetic hematologic disorders by correcting how the body makes blood ...
Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the ...
Researchers have found a promising new method for gene therapy. They successfully restarted inactive genes by bringing them closer to genetic switches on the DNA called enhancers. The intermediate ...
The broader field of gene therapy could thus benefit from delete-to-recruit technology, because it uses a different approach than currently available therapies "Editing the distance to an enhancer, ...
A new approach to gene therapy for retinitis pigmentosa may help patients with advanced disease regain vision regardless of which genetic mutation is causing the condition. An optogenetic therapy ...
In a study of human immune cells infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say a molecule within HIV itself can be manipulated and amplified to force the ...
It’s now possible to treat inherited blood diseases, such as sickle cell disease, with gene editing. Blood stem cells are extracted from the patient, modified, and infused back into their bone ...
As we continue our series exploring genetic medicine, both in this story and in Destiny's Child No Longer: Rewriting Genetic Fate, gene therapy stands at a crossroads. On June 16, Sarepta Therapeutics ...
University of California San Diego-led team has discovered that restoring a key cardiac protein called connexin‑43 in a mouse ...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disorder that results from mutations in the DMD gene. Gene therapies for DMD change genetic material in a person’s body to treat this condition.
A single one-time gene therapy could free patients with α-thalassemia, a rare and debilitating blood disorder, from the burden of lifelong transfusions. A single one-time gene therapy could free ...
