Gene therapy restores sense of smell and more of the latest news from Nature
31-August-2012

A gene therapy approach for restoring cilia development and olfactory responses is reported online this week in Nature Medicine. These findings provide a proof-of-principle that gene therapy may be used in certain genetic disorders to rescue cilia development and restore sensory function.

Genetic signals of malaria resistance
15-August-2012

Two new genetic variants associated with resistance to severe malaria are identified in a study published in Nature this week. These genetic variants may confer resistance by affecting certain steps involved in disease development. The variants may represent candidates for the development of medical control measures against malaria.
