StitchR makes it possible to deliver larger payloads with current vectors, expanding the list of diseases targetable by gene therapies.

While achieving the Nobel Prize spotlight would have been enough to impress, CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing is part of a growing list of technologies granted Investigational New Drug (IND) applications ...

StitchR, a new gene therapy technique, delivers large genes in two parts to treat muscular dystrophies by restoring critical proteins in animal models.

A new technology that delivers two halves of a gene separately could enable gene therapy treatments of muscular dystrophies.

Gene therapy can effectively treat various diseases, but for some debilitating conditions like muscular dystrophies there is ...
