These glow-in-the-dark axolotls can regrow lost limbs — and scientists say studying them could eventually help humans do the same.

A century later, scientists accelerated the search for proteins by working out how our bodies make them. Each protein is encoded by a gene in our DNA. To make a protein, our cells make a copy of ...

A gene-therapy approach using lentiviral vectors (LVs) was tested in neonatal mice to transfer genes into blood stem cells (haematopoietic stem cells), that were travelling from the liver to the ...

Penn researchers believe new potential gene therapy for glioblastoma brain cancer offers ‘a lot of hope’ Glioblastoma has been deadly and hard to treat, but researchers say they’ve made progress with ...
