Gene therapy, a technique that is revolutionizing the treatment of multiple genetic conditions, including eye and muscle diseases and blood disorders, requires efficient and specific delivery of the ...

Scientists spent the next three decades teasing apart the underpinnings of viral biology to create a new generation of vectors. Among these, lentivirus-based vectors, derived from the HIV-1 ...

"Viral vectors could be used to manipulate neural circuits or to probe the roles of specific genes in axolotl brain repair," says corresponding author Tanaka, Scientific Director of IMBA.

Viral vectors introduce genes and gene editing sequences into cells, and are a popular platform for gene therapy due to their safety and efficacy features. Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors in ...

With a grant award from the American Mosquito Control Association Research Fund, Utah State University ecologist Norah ...

In the newly published study, Lust and Tanaka demonstrated for the first time that adeno-associated viral vectors (AAVs) can efficiently deliver transgenes into axolotl neurons. By testing ...
