Inherently, the telomeres located at the ends of chromosomes shorten during each cycle of DNA replication and cell division, eventually topping DNA replication and leading to cell senescence and death.
Stanford researchers have engineered retroviral and virus-like delivery systems for producing universal pseudotyped vehicles for cell and gene therapies.
Stanford researchers have developed a high-sensitivity cell-based assay for predicting the innate immune response to recombinant adeno-associated virus.
