SEATTLE — Some of our most challenging health conditions result from genetic disorders like sickle cell disease and certain cancers. Gene therapy is revolutionizing how they're treated, and the Fred ...

Monash University researchers, in collaboration with Harvard University, have discovered how to permanently "switch off" cancer-causing genes, revealing a new approach to cancer treatment. The ...

The special properties of methylcellulose foam could make it a vehicle for bedside genetic engineering, according to a proof-of-principle study from bioengineers at Fred Hutch Cancer Center. In the ...

Fred Hutchinson researchers are testing a simple idea with surprisingly big potential: a special type of foam that makes gene therapy more efficient.

Researchers have found a promising new method for gene therapy. They successfully restarted inactive genes by bringing them closer to genetic switches on the DNA called enhancers. The intermediate ...
