Title: New Gene Therapy
Post by: 7assan on May 20, 2010, 01:02:05 PM

New Gene Therapy Breakthrough in Humans is Result of Research Pioneered at OHSU's Primate Center 
A promising gene therapy method first developed through animal studies at Oregon Health & Science University has now been successfully tested using human cells. Today, the scientific journal Nature published results of a study conducted at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom where a nucleus from one embryo was transferred to another. It is believed that by using this method of gene transfer, genetic diseases carried in cell mitochondria might be prevented, and maternally-based diseases that are frequently passed from generation to generation could be halted.
