Americans with Disabilities Act
Legislation in the United States, passed in 1990, that extended civil rights laws to persons who are physically disabled. Among other provisions, it requires facilities to accommodate the disabled insofar as it is possible. Businesses must comply with the Act when they build or expand their buildings. For example, most new commercial buildings with steps are required to provide access for persons who use wheelchairs.

A research team from United States and China suggests adenosine deaminase enzyme therapy could successfully prevent or treat penile fibrosis in men with priapism.
All 10 children who had SCID caused by a lack of adenosine deaminase were still alive a median of four years after the missing enzyme was replaced, Maria-Grazia-Roncarolo, MD, of the San Raffaele Telethon Institute for Gene Therapy in Milan, Italy, and colleagues reported in the January 29 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
They address the move toward a universal platform for autologous stem cell gene therapy and also address adenosine deaminase deficiency, insertion of a transgene into Chromosome 19, site-specific integrating vectors, gene targeting, engineering of homing endonucleases and novel sequence-specific DNA binding and modifying, gene targeting mediated by hyper-dependent adenoviral vectors, and multipotent progenitor cells.
