...s possible that some children are genetically less responsive to steroids. In addition to issues of medication adherence and inability to completely control for differences in underlying asthma, severity can never be completely ruled out," says Dr. Sawicki. He, however, conceded that further studies are requ...

New Gene Therapy may Be Helpful in Eliminating Arthritis Pain

...of nerve cells led them to become drastically more responsive to the naturally occurring painkiller. For delivering into cells, the researchers use harmless viruses called vectors, which have evolved to invade human cells and insert their DNA. They say that one injection of a newly designed gene therapy re...

The ADA, including volunteers throughout the state, was a leading supporter of the bipartisan legislation, which will allow school personnel to be trained in diabetes care appropriate fo...

New Platform for Regulating Expression of Therapeutic Genes Unveiled

...design can enable delivered genes to become highly responsive to a cells identity. This is particularly relevant for the emerging field of stem cell gene therapy, in which genes are delivered into a cell that can give rise to many distinct cell types. To achieve their goal, the TIGET scientists came up with a...

Breast Cancer More Aggressive and Less Responsive to Treatment in Younger Women

...Breast cancer tends to be more aggressive and less responsive to treatment in women under 50 as compared to older women, and the study may lead to targeted therapies that can help treat patients more effectively. The study was conducted by a team of researchers led by Carey Anders at the Duke Institute for G...
