He predicts that designer mini-chromosomes will be developed first building on gene therapy which seeks to treat diseases by replacing defective genes with functional ones.

Others are trying gene therapy approaches to prevent CCR5 from being made at all. For example, Riley has been collaborating with Sangamo Biosciences,

and new ways of delivering gene therapies, say the scientists behind the study. At the heart of every cell in our body is a cell nucleus,

the research may also hold promise for the development of new antiviral drugs and better delivery mechanisms for gene therapy.

As in cystic fibrosis, a current delivery method of gene therapy relies on using a virus, which can pose significant safety risks.

#Scientists test new gene therapy for vision loss from a mitochondrial disease NIH-funded study shows success in targeting MITOCHONDRIAL DNA in mice Researchers funded by the National institutes of health have developed a novel mouse model for the vision disorder

and found that they can use gene therapy to improve visual function in the mice. LHON is one of many diseases tied to gene mutations that damage the tiny energy factories that power our cells,

said John Guy, M d.,professor of ophthalmology and director of the ocular gene therapy laboratory at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of medicine.

and using it to test an investigational gene therapy is described today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Dr. Guy began to research a possible gene therapy approach for delivering a substitute copy of the gene into mitochondria about 15 years ago.

In most studies and applications of gene therapy viruses have become the preferred vessel for delivering genes into cells.

This modified virus has been the key to creating a mouse that replicates LHON and to an investigational gene therapy for LHON that is currently in clinical trials.

To develop a gene therapy for LHON, the team packaged the normal human ND4 gene into the same stealthy virus. This combination,

and is testing the safety of the same gene therapy approach (without the red fluorescent protein) in people with LHON.

The findings strongly suggest that stem cell-based gene therapy with a CAR may be a feasible and effective treatment for chronic HIV infection in humans.

A new kind of gene therapy which involves editing, rather than replacing, faulty genes in sick people, is being used experimentally in patients.

gene therapy has meant that a virus delivers a functional copy of a gene that is dysfunctional in a patient.

Children with this genetic condition have been treated with the additive gene therapy method in the past, and some suffered leukemia-like diseases as a side effect (see he Glimmering Promise of Gene therapy.

In the new report, researchers describe treating a single infant with zinc-finger nucleases designed to repair a defective copy of an important immune system gene.
