News: Gene therapy in the womb for ill babies: Plan to give injections to mothers whose unborn children have stopped growing due to failure of the placenta
Desperately ill babies could have their lives saved by a pioneering treatment given while they are still in the womb. In a world first, doctors at a British hospital plan to give injections of genes to mothers-to-be whose unborn children have stopped growing. It is hoped that the genes will boost blood flow to the placenta, the lifeline between mother and baby, providing the child with the oxygen and nutrients needed to thrive and survive.

News: Researchers to use nano-tech in gene therapy of cancer cells
Iranian researchers of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences managed to apply laboratory synthesis of nano-polymeric carriers which can be used in gene therapy of cancer cells. Gene therapy is an experimental technique through which defective genes are modified and sent into the cell by a carrier. Vectors used to transfer genes are divided into two Viral and Non-viral categories.
