Gene expression delivery tool ‘slides’ instructions into cells

Drug Discovery World

Researchers say they have successfully used a cell’s natural process for making proteins to ‘slide’ genetic instructions into a cell and produce critical proteins missing from those cells. . Two methods currently used to deliver protein-making packages into cells, ‘mini promoters’ and serotype-mediated gene expression, vary widely.
