Gene expression delivery tool ‘slides’ instructions into cells

Drug Discovery World

Two methods currently used to deliver protein-making packages into cells, ‘mini promoters’ and serotype-mediated gene expression, vary widely. We wanted to develop a gene expression delivery tool that’s broadly useful in both preclinical and clinical models,” said Blackshaw. . in their effectiveness. “We
