Cancer Risk in Gene Therapy Higher than Thought
In a discovery that may lead to safer gene therapy techniques, a study has found that the genetically engineered mouse virus used in gene therapy trials tends to insert itself at the beginning of a gene in the target cell, potentially disrupting the gene's normal function and contributing to effects such as cancer.

Zebrafish Model Provides Clues to Arterial Development
Researchers have utilized transgenic zebrafish embryos with fluorescently labeled blood vessels to identify and characterize a mutant fish (y10) that lacks the gene for synthesis of phopholipase C gamma-1 protein (Plcg1) and displays specific defects in the formation of arteries but not veins.
