Adenoviruses as gene-delivery vectors took a hit 20 years ago, with the tragic death of a young man who was being treated for ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency using an adenovirus-delivered gene ...

Delivery of therapeutic genes is essential for gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are a prime vector for carrying gene cargoes because of ...

Dyno Therapeutics, Inc., a genetic technologies company applying artificial intelligence (AI) to solve the grand challenge of in vivo gene delivery, today announced Dyno-yp2, a novel adeno-associated ...

Jessica Nance, MD, MS, discusses maximizing gene therapy efficiency by selecting vectors for gene size, tissue targeting, and low exposure, and focusing on precise promoters for expression. This is a ...

The great hope for gene therapy is that one day it will be out of the clinic and into mainstream therapeutics. Bearing enormous potential to treat or cure disease, such technology can replace a ...

Gene therapy involves the transfer of genetically modified materials into a patient's cells to correct abnormal genes associated with diseases (Sun, 2017). Recent advancements in gene therapy have ...
