Cancer gene therapy is often carried out by the introduction of specific genes into cancer host cells that destroy cancer or that will enhance the immune response against cancer cells. Viruses are ...

Viruses have been evolving for millions of years, improving their ability to transfer genetic material to the hosts they infect. When it comes to gene transfer, viruses are efficient and effective. So ...

A new variation of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system makes it easier to re-engineer massive quantities of cells for therapeutic applications. The approach, developed at Gladstone Institutes and UC ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers proposed rotavirus (RV)-based vaccine vectors with the potential for developing polyvalent vaccines targeting multiple enteric ...
