Credit: Mito Kanatsu-Shinohara Researchers in Japan have demonstrated that messenger RNA (mRNA) therapy can restore fertility in a genetic mouse model of male infertility – offering a potential new direction for reproductive medicine that avoids permanent gene editing. The study, published in Stem Cell Reports, shows that delivering therapeutic mRNA directly into … Read more
Key Insights A proof-of-concept trial in a single patient has shown that genetically engineered pancreas cells can survive transplantation without immunosuppression. The results represent a watershed moment for both researchers and people with type 1 diabetes. Hurdles remain in taking the technology through to approved treatment. Four weeks after transplanting genetically modified… Source link
A Japanese study of more than 7,400 patients has identified a genetic mismatch that sharply increases the risk of severe acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following umbilical cord blood transplantation. The specific donor–recipient human leukocyte antigen mismatch triples the likelihood of life-threatening immune complications, and severe acute GVHD itself is associated with significantly worse survival. These … Read more
Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the University of British Columbia are extending those possibilities to the skin for the first time. The UBC team, together with researchers from the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité in Germany, has developed the first gene therapy capable of … Read more
Jan 26 2026 University of California San Diego-led team has discovered that restoring a key cardiac protein called connexin‑43 in a mouse model can dramatically improve heart function and extend survival in several inherited forms of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). The research suggests that a single gene therapy might someday help a wide range of ACM … Read more
Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have developed a gene therapy for Alzheimer’s disease that could help protect the brain from damage and preserve cognitive function. Unlike existing treatments for Alzheimer’s that target unhealthy protein deposits in the brain, the new approach could help address the root cause of Alzheimer’s disease … Read more
