Failing hearts nearly returned to full function in laboratory pigs after they received an experimental gene therapy. New research shows the gene therapy didn't just prevent heart failure from ...

Cardiac bridging integrator 1 gene therapy rescues chronic non-ischemic heart failure in minipigs. npj Regenerative Medicine , 2024; 9 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41536-024-00380-0 Cite This Page : ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

This is easier where there is a close relative to borrow genes from, or where the gene remains in the plant's DNA but has been deactivated. However, many genes contribute to resistance to ...

Dozens of people in the United States have caught bird flu from animals this year, but there's no evidence that the viral disease has spread from one person to another. However, a single mutation ...

A team of researchers led by Ya Gao and Daisylyn Senna Tan of the University of Hong Kong and Mathias Girbig of the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Germany wanted to know what ...

Gene expression is the generation of a functional gene product from the information encoded by a gene, through the processes of transcription and translation. Gene products are often proteins ...

Dec. 4, 2024 — Researchers have uncovered a serious side effect of using the CRISPR-Cas gene scissors. A molecule designed to make the process more efficient destroys parts of the ...

Gene therapy involves the introduction of new genes into cells, to restore or add gene expression, for the purpose of treating disease. Most commonly a mutated gene is replaced with DNA encoding a ...
