Gene Therapy For Parkinson's Disease Moves Forward In Animals

...ategy to halt Parkinson's disease at its onset and another strategy to treat the devastating side effects that occur when treating the disease in its later stages. By inserting corrective genes into the brain, scientists studying small monkeys called marmosets prevented brain damage by producing therapeutic...

Studies reveal methods viruses use to sidestep immune system

... again by unleashing the NS3/4A protease to cleave another protein essential to triggering immune defenses. Again they found that protease inhibitors could reverse the effects of NS3/4A, allowing this immune pathway to be restored to shut down HCV replication. Hepatitis C is a chronic disease that affects 4...
