The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) is a research initiative that is a collaboration of public and private research established by the Obama Administration in 2013. The purpose of the initiative is to aid in the application and creation of technology to better understand the function of the brain. Researchers under BRAIN strive to further explore the causes of brain disorders such as: Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression, and traumatic brain injury.
Gene therapy holds potential for treating neurological diseases by delivering genetic information into specific cell types. However, selective and efficient targeting of cell types remains c...
The use of adeno-associated viruses (AAV) as gene delivery vectors has vast potential for the treatment of many severe human diseases. A small group of intensively studied AAV capsids have b...
