Researchers have identified a method to enhance the effectiveness of a promising cancer treatment. They found that modifying a specific gene improves the ability of immune cells to combat cancer for ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Complexities like these make it challenging to develop broadly applicable gene therapies for these disorders. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin now have developed an improved method of ...

Researchers have successfully resurrected a gene that humanity lost millions of years ago. The results could change how we treat common diseases such as gout and maybe even contribute to slowing down ...

Researchers in the lab of Hans-Peter Kiem, MD, PhD, at Fred Hutch Cancer Center have devised a method that could one day treat genetic hematologic disorders by correcting how the body makes blood ...

A new gene editor may soon open the door to gene therapies for a wider array of diseases. Ask scientists what gene editing tool is most needed to advance gene therapy, and they'd probably describe a ...

Some genetic disorders-such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia and Tay Sachs disease-involve many mutations in a person's genome, often with enough variation that even two individuals who share the same ...
