Researchers Aim to Reduce Variability of Gene Therapy Vectors
A recently published study illuminated a previously unknown aspect of adeno-associated virus capsid heterogeneity and highlighted its importance in the development of these vectors for use in gene therapy applications. More...30 Oct 2018

Candidate Anticancer Drug Effectively Treats Drug-resistant Pancreatic Cancer
A candidate anticancer drug derived from the medicinal bark of a Chinese tree was shown to effectively treat drug-resistant pancreatic cancer alone or in combination with other pancreatic cancer chemotherapeutic drugs. More...29 Oct 2018

Gene Mutation Reduces Glucose Uptake and Premature Mortality
A loss-of-function mutation in a gene in the digestive tract reduces glucose uptake from ingested food, which helps to protect the individual from diabetes, obesity, heart failure, and premature mortality from these disorders. More...25 Oct 2018

Long Non-Coding RNA Identified Modulates Synaptic Morphology and Function
A specific long non-coding RNA that exists in the hippocampal neurons of the brain was found to be enriched in the cells' nuclei and was shown to be necessary for modulating synaptic communication, synapse density, synapse morphology, and dendritic tree complexity. More...24 Oct 2018


Gene Editing Used to Mimic Dysfunctional Neurodegenerative Calcium Transport
A team of neurodegenerative disease researchers working with various Alzheimer's disease model systems has found that expression levels of the STIM1 gene in brain tissues decreased with the progression of neurodegeneration. More...22 Oct 2018

Screening Technique Finds Endothelial Cells Targeted by Nanoparticles
A recently developed technique allows researchers to identify lipid nanoparticles that preferentially target endothelial cells – rather than liver cells – for transport of the components of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing tool. More...18 Oct 2018
