The viral life cycle can be divided into two temporally distinct phases: infection and replication. Infection results in the introduction of the viral genome into the cell. This leads to an early ...

Regardless of their origin and family, viruses have evolved elegant strategies to reach and enter specific target cells where they seize the cellular machinery to express viral genes and assemble ...

A novel bioengineering strategy utilizing peptide display technology on the AAV1 capsid has successfully generated next-generation viral vectors with significantly enhanced specificity and efficiency ...

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 ...

There are several types of viral vectors that can be used to deliver nucleic acids into the genetic makeup of cells, including retrovirus, lentivirus, adenovirus, adeno-associated virus and herpes ...
