Gene therapy for diabetes mellitus.
1. This review describes experimental approaches to test the feasibility of using gene therapy to administer insulin to type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. Two approaches, i.e. ex vivo and in vivo transfer of the insulin gene, are described. 2. Substantial progress has been made in recent years in engineering glucose-responsive beta-cell lines that have been genetically engineered to prolifera...
متن کاملGene therapy for PIDs: Progress, pitfalls and prospects
Substantial progress has been made in the past decade in treating several primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs) with gene therapy. Current approaches are based on ex-vivo transfer of therapeutic transgene via viral vectors to patient-derived autologous hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) followed by transplantation back to the patient with or without conditioning. The overall outcome from all t...
متن کاملProgress and Prospects of Anti-HBV Gene Therapy Development
Despite the availability of an effective vaccine against hepatitis B virus (HBV), chronic infection with the virus remains a major global health concern. Current drugs against HBV infection are limited by emergence of resistance and rarely achieve complete viral clearance. This has prompted vigorous research on developing better drugs against chronic HBV infection. Advances in understanding the...
متن کاملEfficacy of insulin targeted gene therapy for type 1 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis of rodent studies
Objective(s): Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major worldwide public health challenge, for which gene therapy offers a potential therapeutic approach. To date, no systematic review or meta-analysis has been published in this area, so we examined all relevant published studies on rodents to elucidate the overall effects of gene therapy on bodyweight, intraperitoneal glucose...
