Investigadores de las universidades Wake Forest, Duke y Wisconsin-Madison han identificado en un estudio publicado en PNAS los genes SP6 y SP8, responsables de la regeneración de extremidades en ajolotes, ratones y peces cebra, abriendo nuevas posibilidades en la medicina regenerativa y la terapia génica para tratar la pérdida de extremidades en humanos. #Hantavirus #RegenerativeMedicine #GeneTherapy
The U.S. military has already conducted a clinical trial with an injection of DNA gene therapy of the Andes variant of hantavirus — the exact same variant that caused the outbreak on the cruise ship. 98% of participants experienced adverse events. The plasmid.
