However, one of the most important obstacles to overcome is "targeting": the appropriate genes must be delivered and expressed in HCV infected hepatocytes without harming normal tissues. http://www.huliq.com/11/83613/new-gene-therapy-combat-hcv-infection#comments Health gene therapy HCV infection Thu, 16 Jul 2009 08:18:35 -0500 harminka 83613 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82161/new-gene-therapy-method-disrupts-cancer-growth University of Florida researchers have come up with a new gene therapy method to disrupt cancer growth by using a synthetic protein to induce blood clotting that cuts off a tumor's blood and nutrient supply. http://www.huliq.com/11/82161/new-gene-therapy-method-disrupts-cancer-growth#comments Health Cancer Treatment gene therapy Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:25:46 -0500 harminka 82161 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/79789/gene-therapy-muscular-dystrophy-shows-promise Researchers have cleared a safety hurdle in efforts to develop a gene therapy for a form of muscular dystrophy that disables patients by gradually weakening muscles near the hips and shoulders. http://www.huliq.com/11/79789/gene-therapy-muscular-dystrophy-shows-promise#comments Health gene therapy muscular dystrophy Muscular Dystrophy treatment Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:26:12 -0500 harminka 79789 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/78252/gene-therapy-shows-early-promise-treating-obesity With obesity reaching epidemic levels, researchers at the Ohio State University Medical Center are studying a potentially long-term treatment that involves injecting a gene directly into one of the critical feeding and weight control centers of the brain. http://www.huliq.com/11/78252/gene-therapy-shows-early-promise-treating-obesity#comments Health gene therapy obesity Obesity treatment Tue, 10 Mar 2009 05:51:05 -0500 harminka 78252 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75994/gene-therapy-eliminates-brain-tumors-through-selective-recruitment-immune-cells In laboratory and animal studies, a 2-pronged gene therapeutic approach resulted in tumor regression and long-term survival; next step is a human clinical trial http://www.huliq.com/11/75994/gene-therapy-eliminates-brain-tumors-through-selective-recruitment-immune-cells#comments Health brain cancer Brain tumors gene therapy Tue, 13 Jan 2009 06:15:53 -0600 harminka 75994 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75206/gene-therapy-reversed-heart-damage-heart-failure Long-term gene therapy resulted in improved cardiac function and reversed deterioration of the heart in rats with heart failure, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Thomas Jefferson University's Center for Translational Medicine.
