Researchers examined the safety and practicality of gene delivery to several brain regions in animals using a noninvasive, ultrasound-based approach, and their findings imply that when more locations are opened, gene delivery effectiveness improves within each targeted site.
A recent study from the University of Michigan Department of Neurosurgery and Rogel Cancer Centre demonstrates encouraging preliminary findings that a therapy combining cell-killing and immune-stimulating drugs is safe and effective in extending survival for patients with gliomas, a particu
A multinational team led by UCL and the NIHR Great Ormond Street Hospital Biomedical Research Centre found a gene treatment in mice that greatly lowers the hearing loss associated with Norrie disease.
According to a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers at NYU College of Dentistry's Pain Research Centre have created a gene therapy that cures chronic pain by unintentionally controlling a particular sodium ion channel.
It's tough to tell the difference between the dozens of varieties of limb girdle muscular dystrophy, an uncommon, genetic muscle disease characterised by weakness in the hips and shoulders that makes walking and lifting the arms difficult. Until date, defining the subtype was not crucial in
Researchers are increasingly using the blood-brain barrier, which allows only certain molecules to pass from the blood into the brain, to get therapies into the brain after a stroke.
