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 ...
These include the efficient delivery of genetic material into target cells with minimal side effects using adeno-associated viral vectors (AAVs). The AAV carrier substances have an advantageous safety ...
This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection of interventions that restore tissues and organs damaged ...
No currently available treatment is able to generate new contractile tissue or significantly improve cardiac function after myocardial infarction (MI), a leading cause of morbidity and mortality ...
Complexities like these make it challenging to develop broadly applicable gene therapies for these disorders. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin now have developed an improved method of ...
A new study by Tel Aviv University reveals how bacterial defense mechanisms can be neutralized, enabling the efficient transfer of genetic material between bacteria. The researchers believe this ...

Theodore Friedmann, professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego, is also director of the Program in Gene Therapy there. The overriding interest of his laboratory is gene therapy ...
