In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...
No currently available treatment is able to generate new contractile tissue or significantly improve cardiac function after myocardial infarction (MI), a leading cause of morbidity and mortality ...
One problem in gene therapy is that not all genes transfer equally well into the target cells. Researchers have now developed a flexible method to transfer large genes efficiently and without ...

Gene transfer into the peritoneal cavity by nonviral methods may provide an effective therapeutic approach for peritoneal diseases. Herein, we investigated the feasibility and the effectiveness of ...
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 ...
Commercialization and marketing of agricultural products derived from recombinant DNA technologies is now becoming a reality. Genetically engineered tomatoes are poised to appear in supermarket ...
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 ...
Theodore Friedmann, professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego, is also director of the Program in Gene Therapy there. The overriding interest of his laboratory is gene therapy ...
An ancient snippet of salmon DNA resurrected as a result of an aborted University of Minnesota program to restock lakes with larger walleye has become a potent tool in one of the hottest areas of ...
The two main approaches for discovering disease genes reveal distinct aspects of biology, a new study shows. While both ...
