BOSTON — For treatment-naïve patients with e-antigen-negative hepatitis B, two nucleic acid polymers can markedly reduce viral DNA in the serum, according to preliminary trial results. In patients who ...
Scientists have been investigating properties of so-called xenonucleic acids or XNAs. They have demonstrated for the first time that six of these unnatural nucleic acid polymers are capable of sharing ...
Introducing therapeutic nucleic acids into cells is a way to potentially fix the genetic causes of diseases such as Down’s syndrome and cystic fibrosis. Scientists have designed synthetic materials to ...
BLACKSBURG, Va., Jan. 28, 2013 – Sean Hemp of Raleigh, N.C., a Ph.D. student in chemistry in the College of Science, is helping to invent new therapies that target genetic disease and cancer. Working ...
Whether one is elucidating biological mechanisms, correcting a faulty gene, or modulating gene expression, artificially introducing nucleic acids into cells requires an efficient and nontoxic delivery ...
DNA. The very acronym calls to mind the molecule’s exquisite structure, a linear double helix. Our understanding of DNA and its orbiting strands has thrown back the curtains on many diseases—cancer, ...
