Genetic therapy restores sight in dogs

A team of French researchers has used a new genetic therapy to give back the sense of vision to several blind dogs affected by a rare genetic condition known as Lebers Congenital Amaurosis. This genetic condition, which affects between 1,000 and 2,000 children in France alone, leads to blindness shortly...

Nobel Laureate is the father of Kevin Mitnick investigator

We tend to say that information security is a small world. Conferences quickly become real-life demonstrations of the principle of six-degrees-of-separation. After a few years working in this industry, you either meet all or are within one hop of all the major players in the space; there just...

A cancer-resistant mouse?

University of Kentucky researchers have created a cancer-resistant mouse by introducing a tumor-suppressor gene called 'Par-4' into an egg. The 'Par-4' gene, discovered in 1993, kills cancer cells, but not normal cells. It was originally found in the prostate, but this gene also can lead to the death of a...

Glowing mice to speed up cancer research

Researchers in the U.S. and in China are using new genetic approaches to speed up cancer research and develop gene therapy. They are using transposons, or jumping genes, which were discovered 50 years ago, to insert genes from fish and insects into mice and humans. According to Forbes, they are...
