    Abstract

    A Novel Preclinical Model of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II for Developing Human Hematopoietic Stem Cell Gene Therapy

    Researchers established an immunodeficient murine model of mucopolysaccharidosis type II, which are transplantable human cells, and demonstrated the application of those mice in evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of gene-modified hCD34+ cells.
