Gene therapy for heart, skeletal muscle disorder shows promise in preclinical model
Barth syndrome stalks young patients, weakening heart and skeletal muscles, stunting growth and shortening their lives. University of Florida Health researchers and their colleagues have now discovered a promising solution:…
UF Health researcher awarded $2.5 million to study cell function in neurodegenerative diseases
In the human nervous system, proteins, RNA and other cellular material need a free-flowing molecular highway. But when a “traffic jam” develops, the consequences are severe: One of several neurodegenerative…
New gene therapy for inherited eye disorders found effective in animal model
A new gene therapy developed by University of Florida Health researchers stops vision loss and improves sight in dogs — a key step toward testing the treatment in people affected…
New technique could bring earlier diagnoses for muscular dystrophy, ALS and similar disorders
A new blood test could reveal the genetic roots of muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other disorders caused by the expansion of DNA repeats, potentially helping doctors diagnose their…
