Enhanced Gene Transfer for Retinal Therapies
Technology Overview: While Adeno-Associated Viruses (AAVs) shows great promise in gene therapy applications for the treatment of inherited and acquired retinal diseases, a significant challenge to date has been the limitation of AAV vectors to transduce non-permissive retinal cells and to express in a single cell type. The inventors have generated...
