Gene Therapy for Glaucoma

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

A novel approach to treat glaucoma is reported that achieves reduced intraocular pressure by combining intravitreal adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene delivery to the ciliary body with selective CRISPR-Cas9-mediated disruption of Aquaporin 1. Translational viability is assessed using both human ex vivo ciliary body cultures and two experimental mouse models.
