In the realm of gene therapy and genetic engineering, viral vectors have emerged as indispensable tools for delivering genetic material to cells. These modified viruses possess the ability to ...

The successes seen in a number of clinical studies on viral vector-based gene therapies (AAV, retroviral, and lentiviral vectors) are well documented, with an ever-broadening pipeline of products ...

Viruses have been evolving for millions of years, improving their ability to transfer genetic material to the hosts they infect. When it comes to gene transfer, viruses are efficient and effective. So ...

A new variation of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system makes it easier to re-engineer massive quantities of cells for therapeutic applications. The approach, developed at Gladstone Institutes and UC ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers proposed rotavirus (RV)-based vaccine vectors with the potential for developing polyvalent vaccines targeting multiple enteric ...
