Characterizing the molecular diversity of the cell surface is critical for targeting gene therapy. Cell type–specific binding ligands can be used to target gene therapy vectors. However, targeting ...

Libraries displaying random peptides on the surface of adeno-associated virus (AAV) are powerful tools for the generation of target-specific gene therapy vectors. However, for unknown reasons the ...

AAV peptide display libraries allow for the generation of novel variants capable of high-level transduction. We previously described an AAV peptide display library combined with a sensitive ...

Researchers have used high-throughput screening of adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector capsid libraries to maximize the likelihood of obtaining AAV variants with desired properties. As a result of ...

High-throughput virology, design of experiments, and small-molecule production enhancers optimize yield and increase ...

NEW YORK & CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apertura Gene Therapy, a biotechnology company opening opportunities in genetic medicine for treating debilitating diseases with limited options, today ...

Interest in cell and gene therapy-based disease prevention and treatment has increased rapidly over the last few decades, however there are still many hurdles to overcome and further progress to be ...

(Boston) -- Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) have become promising vehicles for delivering gene therapies to defective tissues in the human body because they are non-pathogenic and can transfer ...

In the mid-1990s, Hiroyuki Nakai, now an adeno-associated virus (AAV) researcher at the Oregon Health and Science University, moved to the United States. Nakai quickly became fascinated with the ...

The resurgence of the gene therapy field has multiple therapies primed to make the transition from bench to bedside. But, experts routinely site delivery as the biggest hurdle standing in the way of ...

Taking a more systematic approach to the capsid protein-engineering problem, researchers mutated one by one each of the 735 amino acids within the AAV2 capsid, the best-known member of the AAV family, ...
