Nanoparticles resembling viruses can carry gene-editing tools into muscle and help restore a critical protein in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, according to a new preprint. The approach currently works for muscle. But the team behind the work is exploring similar delivery options that could help treat a range of conditions, including neurological […]
The Christmas season is all about doing things to show others we care and spreading the Christmas cheer. This year, donations from generous supporters have enabled GreaterGood, in collaboration with Greater Good Charities, to spread lots of good Christmas cheer by sending toys and basic needs to children at risk and in need.

Cre load: Similar to viral vectors (center), protein capsules deliver mRNA that codes for the Cre protein to cells, which causes them to glow green (left), unless the mRNA lacks flanking sequences that the protein recognizes (right) . A new gene delivery system attacks a protein found in humans in order to encapsulate messenger RNA […]
