DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells.

Despite being densely packed to fit into the nucleus, chromosomes storing our genetic information are always in motion. This allows specific regions to come into contact and thereby activate a gene. A ...

A research team at the University of Würzburg has deciphered another aspect of poxviral gene activation. The study reveals a unique viral mechanism: a molecular ring anchors the viral copying machine ...

Delivery of therapeutic genes is essential for gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are a prime vector for carrying ...

Google DeepMind's new model deciphers how hidden DNA changes drive disease, predicting gene regulation effects with high accuracy and offering breakthroughs in cancer, heart disease and personalised ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

A team of researchers at a Berkeley-based startup called Profluent say they’ve used generative AI technologies to edit human DNA. Their goal is to produce gene editors that are more efficient and ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection of interventions that restore tissues and organs damaged ...
