Scientists develop "StitchR" gene therapy to effectively treat muscular dystrophy in animal models.

Scientists have developed a new gene therapy method called "StitchR" to treat muscular dystrophy. The technology delivers large therapeutic genes in two halves, which then join together inside cells to restore missing proteins. It successfully restored normal protein levels in animal models of muscular dystrophy, overcoming limitations of previous gene therapies that could not deliver large genes effectively.
