Gene therapy returns to centre stage

TL;DR: Technology for editing genes and correcting inherited mutations, the engagement of stem cells to regenerate tissues and the effective exploitation of powerful immune responses to fight cancer are also contributing to the revitalization of gene therapy.

Effect of gene therapy on visual function in Leber's congenital amaurosis.

TL;DR: Three young adult patients with early-onset, severe retinal dystrophy were administered subretinal injections of recombinant adeno-associated virus vector 2/2 expressing RPE65 complementary DNA (cDNA) under the control of a human R PE65 promoter.
