A new family of adeno-associated viral vectors has been shown to be more efficient in delivering genetic cargo

Gene therapies can treat and even cure some genetic diseases, but it is difficult to deliver the treatments to the parts of the body where they are needed. The researchers engineered viruses called adeno-associated viruses (AAV) to deliver the cargo -; as a functional copy of a gene -; to specific cells and organs, but …

Novel Approach to Delivering Drugs Across the Blood-Brain Barrier to Treat Brain Tumors

Novel Approach to Delivering Drugs Across the Blood-Brain Barrier to Treat Brain Tumors

Researchers have demonstrated in mice a new approach to delivering drugs across the blood-brain barrier to treat tumors that cause aggressive and deadly brain cancer. In a new study, researchers show how a modified peptide, in mice, helps an anti-cancer drug cross the blood-brain barrier, which is known to be extremely difficult to penetrate and …
