Cationic lipid-mediated gene transfer is a safe and effective means of delivering potent immunomodulatory cytokines directly into tumors. This approach avoids undesirable side effects, including ...

A team of doctors at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Penn Medicine treated a baby with a gene editing technology ...

“We’ve shown that lateral gene transfer is a widespread process in grasses,” says Luke Dunning at the University of Sheffield in the UK. The finding adds to the evidence that DNA can be ...

In a new study, researchers have been able to demonstrate that these so-called fungal hyphae also form a hot spot for gene transfer between bacteria. In this way, fungi ensure high bacterial diver ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive ...

The study, published in Science, highlights how a gene transfer between fungi and early plants helped these organisms adapt to terrestrial environments, sparking the development of Earth’s first ...

One important route to this level of stability is through horizontal gene transfer." Lingchong You, Professor, Biomedical Engineering, Duke University Horizontal gene transfer is the process by ...

“Ten or 20 years ago no one thought that this kind of gene transfer was possible,” says Roy Kirsch, a chemical ecologist at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, Germa ...

"We were also able to demonstrate that horizontal gene transfer, a phenomenon that describes the incorporation of foreign genes from bacteria into the genome, is quite common in leaf beetles.

Where to begin? Most protocols generally use transfection at some stage, points out Garry Nolan, an associate professor at Stanford University, because even with viral transductions, the gene still ...

gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary group of researchers at ...

This horizontal gene transfer allowed maternal microbial strains to influence the functional capacity of the infant microbiome, in the absence of persistent transmission of the microbial strains ...
