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 ...

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 ...

Opportunities in viral vector manufacturing arise from rising demand for GMP-grade materials and increasing gene therapy ...

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 ...
