Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors are viruses used to deliver gene therapies to different cells. They are considered one of the field’s most effective delivery tools. AAVs show particular ...

For central nervous system (CNS) applications, attempts are being made to deliver AAV gene therapy directly to the brain parenchyma or the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space by intra-cisterna magna ...

Developing AAV capsids with improved yield, or fitness, is a key strategy for reducing manufacturing costs in order to make gene therapies more affordable. Christian Mueller and coauthors from ...

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapies hold great promise, but ensuring product quality is critical. One major challenge? The presence of empty capsids, which can reduce therapeutic effectiveness ...

To assist researchers in the selection of the optimal AAV vector for their application, we have generated a detailed map of viral delivery to tissues in mice, the most commonly used experimental ...
