Cystic Fibrosis gene therapy in the UK and elsewhere [PDF]
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene was identified in 1989. This opened the door for the development of cystic fibrosis (CF) gene therapy, which has been actively pursued for the last 20 years.

For the past two decades, concerted efforts have been made to treat human disease by replacing nonfunctioning genes in cells or by correcting mutations that produce disease. Successful application of these methods could lead to effective therapies for a variety of genetic and acquired diseases, many of which are not treatable today.

Liver-directed SERPINA1 gene therapy attenuates progression of spontaneous and tobacco smoke-induced emphysema in α1-antitrypsin null mice [PDF]
α1-antitrypsin deficiency is a rare genetic condition that can cause liver and/or lung disease. There is currently no cure for this disorder, although repeated infusions of plasma-purified protein may slow down emphysema progression.

Macrophage Transcriptomic Alterations Driven by Alphavirus-Based Cancer Immunotherapy Vectors
Cancer cells promote the polarisation of tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) into pro-tumorigenic M2-like phenotype, contributing to cancer progression. Reprogramming TAMs by viral immunotherapy vectors represents a promising strategy for cancer therapy.

Over 450 million people worldwide suffer from hearing loss, leading to an estimated economic burden of ∼$750 billion. The past decade has seen significant advances in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that contribute to hearing, and the environmental and genetic factors that can go awry and lead to hearing loss.

Acute Neurological Events in Children With Hemoglobin SC Disease: A Multicenter Retrospective Study
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurological manifestations in children with hemoglobin SC (HbSC) disease remain insufficiently characterized, particularly regarding acute events. The aim of this study was to describe the spectrum and frequency of acute neurological events in a multicenter cohort of children with HbSC disease.

Universal Method for the Purification of Recombinant AAV Vectors of Differing Serotypes
The generation of clinical good manufacturing practices (GMP)-grade adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors requires purification strategies that support the generation of vectors of high purity, and that exhibit a good safety and efficacy profile. To date,
