Gene therapy is defined as the treatment of disease by transfer of genetic material into cells, to prevent, treat and potentially even cure a disease. Gene therapies can work by several mechanisms: 1) ...

Leveraging strategies, such as serial passage in alternative hosts and genetic engineering techniques, have generated highly attenuated VACV vaccine vectors by deleting specific viral genes, most ...

“Using viral vectors is expensive and resource intensive,” said Shy. “A major benefit of a nonviral approach to gene engineering is that we’re not as limited by cost, manufacturing ...

Genetic Engineering Hides Donor Organs from Host Immune System Antigen knockdown prevented organ rejection in minipigs, even in the absence of immunosuppression.

GEN editors discuss both the news and history of DNA and genetic engineering in this episode of the Touching Base Podcast.
