Children with rare, incurable brain disease improve after gene therapy
Public release date: 16-May-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: John Pastor jdpastor@ufl.edu 352-273-5815 University of Florida Using gene transfer techniques pioneered by University of Florida faculty, Taiwanese doctors have restored some movement in four children bedridden with a rare, life-threatening neurological disease. The first-in-humans achievement may also be helpful for more common diseases such as Parkinson’s that involve nerve cell damage caused by lack of a crucial molecule in brain tissue. The results are reported today (May 16) in the journal Science Translational Medicine Continue reading
