Newswise - Using Nanoparticles, in Vivo Gene Therapy Activates Brain Stem Cells

Newswise - Using Nanoparticles, in Vivo Gene Therapy Activates Brain Stem Cells:
"Using nanoparticles, scientists have for the first time delivered genes into the brains of living mice with an efficiency comparable to viral vectors with no observable toxic effect. They also have activated brain stem cells in vivo, potentially to replace those destroyed by disease."
