Scientists looked at multiple techniques used to measure the modified viruses deployed in some gene therapy research and treatments. One technique, known as SEC-MALS, was the most precise and accurate ...

Scientists and physicians can better assess precision genome editing technology using a new method made public today by St.

Early results from a study of newborn screening methods show that DNA analysis picks up many more preventable or treatable serious health conditions than standard newborn screening and is favored by ...

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 ...

On a special episode (first released on June 20, 2024) of The Excerpt podcast: With the advent of CRISPR as a gene editing technology, there are new opportunities to develop breakthrough treatments ...

Early results from 4,000 babies show that genome sequencing picks up many more serious health conditions than standard newborn screening and is favored by most parents. Early results from a study of ...

One in every 10 people worldwide is impacted by a rare genetic disease but about 50% of them remain undiagnosed despite rapid increases in genetic technology and testing. Even when a person does have ...

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 ...

Canada is ready for the next genetic revolution. Farmers like me applaud the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) for letting sound science guide agricultural policy—and clearing up the ...

Some gene therapy treatments use modified adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) like the one shown here to deliver therapeutic genetic material into a patient’s cells. In a finding with implications for one ...
