An outbreak of acute severe, unexplained hepatitis in previously healthy children in 2022 may be linked to adeno-associated virus 2, or AAV2, according to three independent studies published Thursday ...

Adeno-associated virus 2 was present in high amounts in liver tissue and blood in nearly all the children with unexplained hepatitis in the studies. And it was only rarely found in healthy kids, those ...

Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are as small, replication-defective, non-enveloped viruses, serving as vectors for gene therapy. AAV vectors play a transformative role in delivering therapeutic genes ...

In a recent review published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, researchers presented recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV)-based genetic applications to treat human diseases. Study: ...

Once perceived as mere pathogens, adenoviruses have transformed remarkably, becoming indispensable allies in the fight against genetic disorders. In an era where medical innovation is paramount, ...

An onslaught of common childhood viruses may have been behind the mysterious outbreak of cases of severe liver damage in children that began popping up in late 2021, as lockdowns were relaxed and ...

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors play a pivotal role in gene therapy, delivering therapeutic genes with high precision and safety. However, a significant challenge in the biomanufacturing of these ...

Scientists in the United Kingdom say they've found "strong circumstantial evidence" linking an obscure type of sidekick virus called adeno-associated virus to unexplained cases of liver damage in ...
