Machine learning approach helps researchers design better gene-delivery vehicles for gene therapyGene therapy could potentially cure genetic diseases, but it remains a challenge to package and deliver new genes to specific cells safely and effectively. Existing methods of engineering one of the most commonly used gene-delivery vehicles, adeno-associated viruses (AAV), are often slow and inefficient.

Direct calcitonin gene-related peptide inhibition found to reduce acne, rosacea in patients with migraineFor patients experiencing migraine, direct calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) inhibition with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is associated with reduced rates of acne and rosacea compared with no inhibition (topiramate) or indirect inhibition (triptans), according to a research letter published online July 10 in JAMA Dermatology.

Gene therapy discovery triggers hope for glaucoma patientsThe protein tau is essential to the function of cells in the brain and central nervous system, but when over-produced under certain conditions, it forms tangles that clog the cells' internal structures. These tangles have also been found in Alzheimer's disease patients.
