Is Recent Gene Therapy Setback for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Déjà vu All Over Again?

PLOS: DNA Science

Gene therapy clearly hasn’t had a major impact on health care, offering extremely expensive treatments for a few individuals with rare diseases. Can they deliver healing genes without triggering an overactive immune response? In addition to high cost and small markets, patient responses haven’t been predictable.

Revolutionary nanoparticles enable gene-editing in lungs

Drug Target Review

1 RNA-delivery particles have the potential to revolutionise the treatment of lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis. The researchers hope that this new technology could lead to the development of more effective treatments for these conditions, which can be debilitating and often life-threatening. References: 1.
