The nonviral, bioinspired gene delivery method developed by researchers at RMIT University has proven effective in laboratory tests and is safer than standard viral approaches.
Widely considered the next frontier of cancer research, gene therapy involves introducing new genes into a patient’s cells to replace missing or malfunctioning ones that cause disease.
As cells are not designed to naturally take up genes or any foreign DNA material, the biggest challenge for gene therapy is getting the therapeutic genes into the cells.
