Cell and gene therapies offer hope for previously untreatable diseases, with viral vectors currently favored as the primary gene delivery method. To meet patient needs, reliable and cost-effective ...

Even tumor cells can be infected by pathogens. In fact, they are especially vulnerable—a side effect of their ability to hide from the immune system. Dr. Jennifer Altomonte and her team at Fusix ...

The Herpes simplex virus is a widespread virus that often causes cold sores, and most people carry it. By removing a virulence gene, i.e. a gene that makes the virus harmful to humans, the herpes ...

“You have cancer.” Few words carry more weight. For people diagnosed with non–muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), advances in the field can be encouraging; yet, even amid innovation and ongoing ...

Some cancer cells don't die; they go quiet, like seeds lying dormant in the soil. These "sleeper cells," scattered throughout the body, can stay inactive for years. But when the body faces a ...

Transgene (Euronext Paris: TNG), a biotech company that designs and develops virus-based immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, today announced that its management team will meet institutional ...
