Researchers have developed a new form of gene therapy that can stop cell division in fusion-driven cancer. A new study presents a promising treatment method for so-called fusion-driven cancers, which ...

Identification of specific gene fusions is critical for the successful targeted treatment of pediatric cancer patients. Researchers at Children's Hospital Los Angeles have developed a novel assay that ...

Oral health-related quality of life among children undergoing cancer therapy. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2012 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This abstract does not include a full text component ...

This fusion causes the cancer and drives the uncontrolled cell growth. Using the so-called molecular scissors CRISPR/Cas9, researchers from Aarhus University have developed a gene therapy that can ...

Many childhood cancers start with a hijacking at the molecular level. A group of abnormal proteins known as fusion proteins aberrantly engage with a collection of proteins that switches genes on and ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection of interventions that restore tissues and organs damaged ...

Overall survival (OS) was calculated as the time between the date of diagnosis and the date of death (from disease) or the last known date at which the patient was alive. Event-free survival (EFS) was ...

Complexities like these make it challenging to develop broadly applicable gene therapies for these disorders. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin now have developed an improved method of ...
