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.

Researchers in Japan have genetically transferred a unique courtship behavior from one fruit fly species to another. By turning on a single gene in insulin-producing neurons, the team successfully ...

In modern functional genomics, understanding how specific genes control cellular behavior requires both targeted intervention and high-resolution analysis. That’s where Perturb-Seq comes in—a method ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

Four patients with infantile-onset Pompe’s disease received a single intravenous injection of an adeno-associated virus serotype 9 vector carrying codon-optimized complementary DNA encoding human acid ...

Adeno-associated virus (AAV)–mediated gene therapy has emerged as a promising treatment for hemophilia B. Data on safety and durability from 13 years of follow-up in a cohort of patients who had been ...

The illustration shows how high trafficking of blood stem cells in the circulation early post-natally allows lentiviral-vector mediated in vivo gene transfer. Credit: Ella Maru studio Researchers have ...

Horizontal gene transfer by natural transformation (NT) is induced in Vibrio cholerae upon attachment to chitin surfaces in the aquatic environment. Here, we show that free environmental DNA adsorbs ...

DMD gene therapy faces challenges in safety, efficacy, and long-term outcomes, despite FDA approval of delandistrogene moxeparvovec. Future strategies focus on novel AAV capsids, dual/triple vector ...
