BACKGROUND: Subretinal injection (SRI) has become an important surgical method for treating vitreoretinal diseases. Nevertheless, the optimisation of bleb formation in SRI, for the attainment of desired therapeutic outcomes, still requires further in...
Gene therapy has emerged as a significant advancement in medicine in recent years. However, the development of effective gene delivery vectors, particularly polymer vectors, remains a significant challenge. Limited understanding of the internal struc...
A key hurdle to making adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid mediated gene therapy broadly beneficial to all patients is overcoming pre-existing and therapy-induced immune responses to these vectors. Recent advances in high-throughput DNA synthesis, mu...
Restoring gene function by the induced skipping of deleterious exons has been shown to be effective for treating genetic disorders. However, many of the clinically successful therapies for exon skipping are transient oligonucleotide-based treatments ...
Drug repurposing has attracted increased attention, especially in the context of drug discovery rates that remain too low despite a recent wave of approvals for biological therapeutics (e.g. gene therapy). These new biological entities-based treatmen...
Over 100 000 research articles and 9000 patents have been published on tissue engineering (TE) in the past 20 years. Yet, very few TE products have made their way to the market during the same period. Experts have proposed a variety of strategies to ...
The advancement of cell injections has created a need for accurate, efficient, and low-invasive injections. However, the conventional approaches to reduce cell damage during penetration, mainly optimization of micropipette tips and vision-based autom...
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are severe neurological disorders characterized by childhood-onset seizures and significant developmental impairments. Seizures are often refractory to treatment with traditional antiseizure medicat...
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a non-enveloped DNA virus infecting a wide variety of species, tissues, and cell types, which is recognized as a safe and effective method for delivering therapeutic transgenes. AAV vector is the most popular viral gen...
