NIH/National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Scientists have discovered gene expression differences that could lead to better ways to classify, predict outcome, and treat ...
Just like a doctor adjusts the dose of a medication to the patient's needs, the expression of therapeutic genes, those modified in a person to treat or cure a disease via gene therapy, also needs to ...
In gene therapy, a gene (a piece of DNA) is introduced into cells. This process uses a virus that has been stripped of its disease-causing properties—referred to as a viral vector—as the delivery ...
What if a cup of coffee could help treat cancer? Researchers at the Texas A&M Health Institute of Biosciences and Technology ...
Researchers at The University of Tokyo developed TECHNO, a two-step genome editing strategy that replaces entire mouse loci with human genomic DNA. The method integrates fragments over 200 kbp.
Humanized mouse models are essential for investigating human gene function; however, the complete replacement of mouse genes with entire human sequences has posed significant technical challenges.
