Danon disease is a rare, highly penetrant and morbid X-linked cardioskeletal myopathy caused by loss-of-function variants in the lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2) gene. We review the rationale for LAMP2B gene replacement, the basis for adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) vector selection, the…

The management of allergic and immunologic diseases has long centered on symptom management rather than disease modification. Conventional pharmacotherapy controls manifestations of the immune dysregulation but does little to treat the underlying cause. Newer monoclonal and small molecule therapies target downstream…

Genetic epilepsy, for which the molecular mechanisms are relatively well defined in numerous monogenic forms, represents an attractive model for the transition from symptomatic seizure control to mechanism‑driven correction. However, gene therapy strategies differ in their mechanisms of action, adaptability to…

Cancer remains a formidable global health challenge, representing the second leading cause of mortality worldwide. In 2023, there were approximately 18.5 million new cancer cases and over 10 million deaths globally, with projections estimating 30.5 million new cases and 18.6 million deaths annually by 2050. In the…

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint disease, which is pathologically characterized by articular cartilage degradation, chronic synovial inflammation, subchondral bone remodeling, and osteophyte formation. Patients with OA suffer from joint pain, deformity, and functional impairment. Current therapies…
