Researchers from the Salk Institute in San Diego and the University of Florida have used cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) imaging to analyze a 3D model of the AAV2 virus. The advanced molecular imaging technique may demonstrate the potential for the virus to act as a delivery vehicle for gene therapies, according to research published Sept. 7 in Nature Communications.
