Non-Viral Delivery Systems in Gene Therapy
Recent advances in molecular biology combined with the culmination of the Human Ge‐ nome Project [1] have provided a genetic understanding of cellular processes and disease pathogenesis; numerous genes involved in disease and cellular processes have been identi‐ fied as targets for therapeutic approaches. In addition, the development of high-throughput screening techniques (e.g., cDNA microarra...
متن کاملNon-Viral Delivery Systems in Gene Therapy and Vaccine Development
Gene therapy is the process of treating a particular disease through the introduction of genetic material in order to elicit a therapeutic benefit [Stone, 2010]. The defective gene of a diagnosed patient can be corrected by a number of different strategies such as “gene replacement”, “gene correction”, and “gene augmentation” [Katare and Aeri, 2010]. In replacement therapy, a normal gene is ins...
متن کاملGene Delivery Systems: Recent Progress in Viral and Non-Viral Therapy
Thanks to the changes in medicine, pharmacological treatment rapidly progresses into new fields. There is an emphasis on the development of treatment methods to eliminate underlying factors rather than to treat the symptoms of a disease. Therefore, research is increasingly utilizing knowledge from the field of genetics. Genetic mutation and deletion lead to many genetic disorders. Genetic disor...
متن کاملTargeted, non-viral gene delivery for cancer gene therapy.
The ability to mediate targeted and specific delivery of therapeutics to cancer cells remains one of the most important hurdles in effectively treating cancer. This aspect also remains as one of the greatest limitations of gene therapy as well. Targeted vectors based on the use of DNA-binding agents attached to cell specific ligands or "molecular conjugates" were created with the goal of over-c...
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...
