Scientists Develop Targeted Drug Delivery For Arresting Tumour Growth, Reducing Off-target Effects
Experiments in breast cancer models demonstrated a robust gene knockdown, resulting in an increased cancer cell death and a substantial inhibition in tumour growth.

Biotech Firm MedTherapy Says It Can Cut Gene Therapy Production Time To One Day
A key claim by the company MedTherapy is a major reduction in production timelines. While gene therapies typically take weeks or months to manufacture, MedTherapy says it has significantly shortened the process.

Rare Epilepsy Breakthrough: Why This New Treatment Is Reducing Seizure Frequency In Children By 91%
An international clinical trial has achieved a new effective treatment option for rare epilepsy that can reduce seizures by 91% in children. Here is what this breakthrough means for the children suffering from Dravet Syndrome.

Indian-Made Gene Therapy For Blood Cancer Shows 73% Response Rate In Clinical Trials
An indigenously developed gene therapy for specific blood cancers has shown a 73 per cent response rate among patients in India, according to results of clinical trials published in The Lancet Haematology journal.

New Study Finds Selfish DNA (LINE-1) is Essential for Early Human Embryo Development
Recent research has shed light on how "selfish DNA," particularly LINE-1 transposons, plays a key role in early human development. Once viewed primarily as harmful, these elements have now been found to be essential for the normal formation and specialisation of cells during the embryo's early stages. Blocking their activity causes developmental di...

Key Gene Behind Breast Cancer Identified
Researchers from the University of Queensland, together with Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the US, developed a statistical approach "to reveal many previously hard-to-find genes that contribute to cancer".

What Is Autism Spectrum Disorder? Here's Everything You Should Know About It
Autism spectrum disorder is a condition which is related to brain development that impacts how a person interacts with others, perceives and socializes with others, causing problems in social interaction and communication.

Gene That Strengthens Immune System Identified
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)identified the gene that plays a critical role in regulating the body's immune response to infection including cancer and diabetes.

Common Anti-Allergy Drugs May Treat Deadly Blood Clots
The research by the University of Birmingham in the UK could lead to new treatments that prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot that develops within a deep vein in the body, usually in the leg, and causes swelling, aching and difficulty walking.

Researchers Discover Gene Linked Age-Related Problems: Study
Several genes are associated with age-related conditions, including hearing loss, retinal degeneration and osteoarthritis, a large screening programme in the UK has identified.

How Mutant Cells Turn Into Aggressive Cancers Discovered
Scientists have discovered how a gene mutation found in several human cancers - including leukaemia, gliomas and melanoma - promotes the growth of aggressive tumours, a finding that may help develop new treatment for the deadly diseases.

5 New Genes May Lead To Customised Breast Cancer Treatment
Scientists have uncovered five new genes associated with breast cancer and 13 new mutational signatures that influence tumour development, an advance that may lead to personalised healthcare for the deadly disease. The results of the largest-ever study to sequence the whole genomes of breast cancer also show what genetic variations exist in the dis...
