"Bronchial Artery Delivery of Viral Vectors for Gene delivery in Cystic Fibrosis; Superior to Airway Delivery?"
BACKGROUND Attempts at gene therapy for the pulmonary manifestations of Cystic Fibrosis have relied mainly on airway delivery. However the efficiency of gene transfer and expression in the airway epithelia has not reached therapeutic levels. Access to epithelial cells is not homogenous for a number of reasons and the submucosal glands cannot be reached via the airways. PRESENTATION We propose...
متن کاملBarriers and recent advances in non-viral vectors targeting the lungs for cystic fibrosis gene therapy
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in CFTR genes that affect chloride ion channel. The CF is a good nominee for gene therapy as the asymptomatic carriers are phenotypically normal, and the desired cells are accessible for vector delivery. Gene therapy shows promising effects involving the correction of gene or replacement of the mutant gene with the func...
متن کاملVectors for Gene Delivery
Gene therapy bases its rationale on the transfer of genetic components (genes or fragments thereof) into somatic cells, with the aim of preventing, correcting, or healing various types of disorders. After this introductory sentence you expect us to start telling you some of the marvellous achievements in setting up the tools that allow this transfer. However, before entering into the intricate ...
متن کاملViral vectors for gene delivery in tissue engineering.
The goal of tissue engineering is the production of functional, biocompatible tissues by seeding cells within biological or synthetic scaffolds. One tissue engineering approach involves the genetic modification of cells that are seeded onto (or into) scaffolds prior to implantation. The genetic modification is achieved through gene delivery, with can utilize viral transduction or non-viral tran...
متن کاملGene delivery with viral vectors for cerebrovascular diseases.
Recent achievements in the understanding of molecular events involved in the pathogenesis of central nervous system (CNS) injury have made gene transfer a promising approach for various neurological disorders, including cerebrovascular diseases. However, special obstacles, including the post-mitotic nature of neurons and the blood-brain barrier (BBB), constitute key challenges for gene delivery...
