UCLA AIDS Institute researchers find a peptide that encourages HIV infection
UCLA AIDS Institute researchers have discovered that when a crucial portion of a peptide structure in monkeys that defends against viruses, bacteria and other foreign invaders is reversed, the peptide actually encourages infection with HIV. view more (2007-05-11)
'Jumping genes' could make for safer gene delivery system
To move a gene from point A to point B, scientists and gene therapists have two proven options: a virus, which can effectively ferry genes of interest into cells, and a plasmid, an engineered loop of DNA that can do the same thing, albeit usually only on a short-term basis. view more (2007-09-27)
Newly Identified Gene Activated In 80% Of Breast Cancer Patients
New research, published this week in Breast Cancer Research, could provide a genetic explanation for breast cancer. A George Washington University Medical Center team, led by Patricia Berg, has discovered that the gene BP1 is activated in 80% of breast cancer patients. The researchers believe that this gene may offer a useful new target for early... view more... (2003-04-25)
Penn researchers report that gene therapy awakens the brain despite blindness from birth
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have demonstrated that gene therapy used to restore retinal activity to the blind also restores function to the brain's visual center, a critical component of seeing. view more (2007-06-26)

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers have successfully protected mice against the damaging effects that radiation can have on bone marrow using gene therapy. view more (2006-06-05)
University of Florida study shows leptin could combat type 2 diabetes
University of Florida researchers have discovered the appetite-controlling hormone leptin could also combat type 2 diabetes, a disease that has become a growing problem in the United States as more Americans pack on extra pounds. view more (2006-09-21)
Lancet study shows gene therapy for Parkinson's disease is safe and some patients benefit
A novel gene therapy technique is safe and may be effective at staving off worsening symptoms of Parkinson's disease. view more (2007-06-25)

In a recent issue of The Journal of Chemical Physics, published by the American Institute of Physics (AIP), a group of researchers at the University of California, Berkeley and Los Alamos National Laboratory describe the first comprehensive, molecular-level numerical study of gene therapy. view more (2009-04-30)
Researchers identify new anti-tumor gene
Researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University have identified a new anti-tumor gene called SARI that can interact with and suppress a key protein that is overexpressed in 90 percent of human cancers. The discovery could one day lead to an effective gene therapy for cancer. view more (2008-12-17)
Cancer-killing viruses influence tumor blood-vessel growth
Viruses genetically designed to kill cancer cells offer a promising strategy for treating incurable brain tumors such as glioblastoma, but the body's natural defenses often eliminate the viruses before they can eliminate the tumor. view more (2008-06-11)
