First Parkinson's Gene Therapy Patient Passes One Year
The first ever patient to have undergone gene therapy for Parkinson's appears to have come through phase I without a hitch, suggesting that the therapy is safe and effective, reports Marina Murphy in Chemistry & Industry. View More (2004-09-02)
Gene therapy is a 'disruptive science' ready for commercial development
The time for commercial development of gene therapy has come. Patients with diseases treatable and curable with gene therapy deserve access to the technology, which has demonstrated both its effectiveness and feasibility. View More (2012-01-25)
Targeted gene therapy enhances treatment for Pompe disease
Gene therapy to replace the protein missing in Pompe disease can be effective if the patient's immune system does not react against the therapy. View More (2012-06-26)
A potential targeting gene therapy for developing HCV
Gene therapy has emerged as a novel approach to combat HCV infection in the last few years. View More (2009-07-16)
Polymers are promising tools for gene therapy
New methods are being developed to cure illnesses with the aid of gene therapy. Polymer technology provides new and versatile possibilities for administering gene doses. "Polymers are used to pack the gene to be transferred into particles of the size of a ten thousandth of a millimetre. These polymers effectively transport the transferable gene into affected cells and are then dissolved by... View More (2002-04-24)
Deathstalker scorpion venom could improve gene therapy for brain cancer
An ingredient in the venom of the "deathstalker" scorpion could help gene therapy become an effective treatment for brain cancer, scientists are reporting. View More (2010-08-12)
Gene therapy completely suppresses ovarian cancer growth in animal model
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers have used gene therapy to either completely abolish or significantly inhibit tumor progression in a mouse model of ovarian cancer. View More (2006-06-05)
First gene therapy for heart failure offered at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia
Could injecting a gene into a patient with severe heart failure reverse their disabling and life-threatening condition? Physician-scientists are setting out to answer that question in a first-ever clinical trial of gene therapy to treat severe heart failure. View More (2008-06-19)
Gene therapy 'turns off' mutation linked to Parkinson's disease
A group of Northwestern University researchers is developing a novel gene therapy aimed at selectively turning off one of the genes involved in the development of Parkinson's disease. View More (2006-01-19)
Finding the ZIP-code for gene therapy: Scientists imitate viruses to deliver therapeutic genes
A research report featured on the cover of the September 2009 print issue of The FASEB Journal describes how Australian scientists developed a new gene therapy vector that uses the same machinery that viruses use to transport their cargo into our cells. View More (2009-08-31)
Gene therapy slows progression of fatal neurodegenerative disease in children
Gene therapy to replace the faulty CLN2 gene, which causes a neurodegenerative disease that is fatal by age 8-12 years, was able to slow significantly the rate of neurologic decline in treated children. View More (2008-05-14)
"Suicide gene" injection shrinks cancer growth
Injectable "suicide gene" therapy may be a highly effective way of preventing colon cancer from spreading (metastasising), finds research in Gut. Human colon cancer carries a high risk of death because it is often not found in the early stages and readily spreads to the liver, but also the lungs and throughout the abdominal cavity (peritoneum).

MRC Research Offers Hope of Treatment for People with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
A new approach which effectively patches over genetic defects offers hope of treatment to people with the terminal illness, Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This is the conclusion of research led by Dr Qi Long Lu and Professor Terence Partridge at the Medical Research Council's Clinical Sciences Centre. Most cases of Duchenne muscular dystrophy are caused by mutations in a gene called dystrophin.... View More (2003-07-04)
Caffeine energizes cells, boosting virus production for gene therapy applications
ive caffeine to cells engineered to produce viruses used for gene therapy and the cells can generate 3- to 8-times more virus, according to a paper published in Human Gene Therapy. View More (2011-01-26)
Researchers identify a new gene with a key role in obesity and diabetes
Scientists observed that blocking the expression of the gene TRIP-Br2 in mice protects them against obesity and insulin resistance. View More (2013-01-10)
Moving gene therapy forward with mobile DNA
Gene therapy is the introduction of genetic material into a patient's cells resulting in a cure or a therapeutic effect. In recent years, it has been shown that gene therapy is a promising technology to treat or even cure several fatal diseases for which there is no attractive alternative therapy.

New study shows that therapeutic gene expression can be sustainable for 1 year
Researchers at the Board of Governors Gene Therapeutics Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have shown for the first time that it is possible to sustain therapeutic gene expression in the central nervous system for up to a year, even in the presence of an anti-viral immune response mechanism that is normally present in humans.

UVa researchers restore genes in human inner ear cells
Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System have discovered a way to transfer genes, which they hope will restore hearing, into diseased tissue of the human inner ear. View More (2007-06-14)
Novel reference material to standardize gene therapy applications
The introduction of a new, fully characterized viral vector for use as reference material to help standardize gene therapy protocols in research applications and human clinical trials is described in an article in Human Gene Therapy, a peer-reviewed journal published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. View More (2010-10-07)
Gene therapy accelerates healing of damaged skeletal muscle
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers have successfully used gene therapy to accelerate muscle regeneration in experimental animals with muscle damage, suggesting this technique may be a novel and effective approach for improving skeletal muscle healing, particularly for serious sports-related injuries.
