一个由加拿大和韩国科学家组成的联合研究小组采用新型基因疗法,已在老鼠身上成功治愈1型(青少年型)糖尿病,并且是“一次治疗,终生痊愈”。 研究人员制造出一种经过基因改造的病毒,并用它把另一种叫做SIA的基因“载送”进入患有糖尿病毒的鼠类肝脏内。这种基因可以立即测出血液中的葡萄糖浓度,并促使肝脏释放出一种经基因改造过的胰岛素。科学家发现,只注射一剂这种复合 A joint research team of Canadian and South Korean scientists using novel gene therapy has successfully cured Type 1 (adolescent) diabetes in mice and is “one-time cure, life-long cure.” Researchers create a genetically engineered virus that uses it to “load” another gene called SIA into the murine liver that has diabetes. The gene immediately measures the glucose concentration in the blood and causes the liver to release a genetically engineered insulin. Scientists found that only one dose of this compound was injected
