Stanford researchers have developed a new class of materials that enable new strategies for the efficient delivery of messenger RNA (mRNA) into cells and animals. The delivery materials are easily prepared (2 steps), stable and readily tuned.
Stanford researchers at the Sattely Lab have discovered six podophyllotoxin biosynthetic genes and their polypeptide products from the plant, Podophyllum hexandrum (mayapple).
Researchers in Dr. Mark Kay's laboratory at Stanford University have designed a new liver-specific expression cassette for inserting genes into double-stranded AAV (adeno-associated virus) vectors for gene therapy.
