Scientists Test Improved Gene Therapy Method For Hereditary Heart Cond
UF researchers used gene therapy to successfully reverse symptoms in mice with a form of muscular dystrophy that damages the heart. They also tested the virus-based delivery method in monkeys and found genes were readily absorbed by heart muscle cells, and the effect persisted for months.
