Scientists Develop Gene Therapy For Effective Treatments For Genetic Disorders And Cancers
Daniel | Sep 4 2009

Scientists in Australia have developed a new gene therapy vector that uses the same machinery as viruses to transport their cargo into cells.

David Jans, from the Nuclear Signaling Laboratory at Monash University in Victoria, says that this achievement has raised the hope that one day therapeutic DNA will begin to be transferred to a cell’s nucleus far more efficiently than in the past, and thus there will be more effective treatments for several genetic disorders and some types of cancers.
