Some genetic disorders—such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia and Tay Sachs disease—involve many mutations in a person's genome, ...

Pancreatic cancer has a significantly poor prognosis; therefore, the development of effective treatments is an unmet clinical need. The major drawback in this field was the lack of useful model ...

However, traditional gene delivery methods, such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and gene guns, are often slow, inefficient, and can damage plant tissues. These highlight the need for more ...

An early-stage company is using machine learning to design bespoke nonviral delivery methods for future gene therapies. Nanite, set up two years ago, plans to use machine learning to design polymers ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, researchers in Japan successfully used a nonviral system to introduce a ...

Accidental discoveries have always led to intriguing research in science, and one such incident by a group of researchers has been published in the journal American Chemical Society. Image Credit: ...

Recent advancements in monocot transformation, using leaf tissue as explant material, have expanded the number of grass species capable of transgenesis. However, the complexity of vectors and reliance ...

Gene therapy is a revolutionary approach to treating genetic disorders by introducing functional genes into cells to replace or correct defective genes. It involves the use of genetic material, such ...

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 ...

Niigata, Japan – The research group of Professor Kamimura in Niigata University have established a novel pancreatic carcinogenesis model in wild-type rats utilizing the pancreas-targeted selective ...
