Hope is on the horizon for Parkinson’s patients. A UW–Madison-supported clinical trial is showing early promise using a groundbreaking cell therapy. Patients are receiving brain cells grown from their own cells, potentially reducing symptoms and eliminating the need for immunosuppressants.

Transient rapamycin treatment avoids unwanted host immune responses toward AAV-delivered anti-HIV antibodies - Nature Communications
A gene therapy method using AAV can help deliver HIV-fighting antibodies long-term, but the body often rejects them. Here the authors show that a short course of the drug rapamycin helps prevent host anti-drug antibody responses, showing successful antibody delivery in mice and monkeys.
