Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) as a Vector for Gene Therapy
There has been a resurgence in gene therapy efforts that is partly fueled by the identification and understanding of new gene delivery vectors. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a non-enveloped virus that can be engineered to deliver DNA to target cells ...

The E3 ubiquitin ligase IDOL regulates synaptic ApoER2 levels and is important for plasticity and learning. [PDF]
Neuronal ApoE receptors are linked to learning and memory, but the pathways governing their abundance, and the mechanisms by which they affect the function of neural circuits are incompletely understood.

A novel dual mechanism-of-action bispecific PD-1-IL-2v armed by a “βγ-only” interleukin-2 variant
IntroductionInterleukin-2 (IL-2) is one of the first cytokines to be discovered as an immune agonist for cancer immunotherapy. Biased IL-2 variants had been discovered to eliminate Treg activation or enhance the tumor specific T cell cytotoxicity ...

AAV‐Mediated Gene Therapy Restores Hearing in Patients with DFNB9 Deafness
Mutations in OTOFERLIN (OTOF) lead to the autosomal recessive deafness 9 (DFNB9). The efficacy of adeno‐associated virus (AAV)‐mediated OTOF gene replacement therapy is extensively validated in Otof‐deficient mice.
