Progress in the use of adeno-associated viral vectors for gene therapy [PDF]
The development of safe and efficient gene transfer vectors is crucial for the success of gene therapy trials. A viral vector system promising to meet these requirements is based on the apathogenic adeno-associated virus (AAV-2), a member of the ...

Sex significantly influences transduction of murine liver by recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors through an androgen-dependent pathway. [PDF]
A systematic evaluation of the influence of sex on transduction by recombinant adeno-associated viral vector (rAAV) indicated that transgene expression after liver-targeted delivery of vector particles was between 5- to 13-fold higher in male mice ...

We describe a dominant behavioral marker, rol‐6(su‐1006), and an efficient microinjection procedure which facilitate the recovery of Caenorhabditis elegans transformants. We use these tools to study the mechanism of C.elegans DNA transformation.

Argininosuccinic aciduria fosters neuronal nitrosative stress reversed by Asl gene transfer
Patients with mutations in the ASL gene present with argininosuccinic aciduria characterised by hyperammonaemia and cognitive impairment. Here, the authors show that cerebral disease involves neuronal nitrosative/oxidative stress that is not induced by ...

Dissemination of Antimicrobial Resistance in Microbial Ecosystems through Horizontal Gene Transfer
The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria has been a rising problem for public health in recent decades. It is becoming increasingly recognized that not only antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) encountered in clinical ...
