Model Demonstrates Potential for Long-Term Gene Silencing
An adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector was used to deliver a modified version of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing tool to liver cells in a mouse model, which resulted in suppression of the serum enzyme Pcsk9 and reduction of cholesterol levels. More...08 May 2018

Protein Droplets Stimulate Neurodegenerative Fibril Clumping
A team of neurodegenerative disease researchers has identified a molecular mechanism that prevents or reverses the formation of insoluble protein aggregates that characterize several brain disorders, including frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). More...03 May 2018
