Researchers from Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester Medical Center have developed a new, more efficient method for gene transfer. The technique, which involves culturing ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

One problem in gene therapy is that not all genes transfer equally well into the target cells. Researchers have now developed a flexible method to transfer large genes efficiently and without ...

Research has shed important new light on the enemies-turned-allies that allow bacteria to exchange genes, including those ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how bacteria share genes—including those that spread antibiotic resistance.

The ability to control the expression of therapeutic genes within a “therapeutic window” is crucial to ensure the development of safe and effective gene therapies, but to date, there has been no ...

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 ...

Research has shed important new light on the enemies-turned-allies that allow bacteria to exchange genes, including those ...

Theodore Friedmann, professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego, is also director of the Program in Gene Therapy there. The overriding interest of his laboratory is gene therapy ...
