Beta thalassemia gene therapy using lentiviral vectors
Recent years, allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has proved to be the successful cure for patients with thalassemia major, however this is restricted due to limited matched-related donor. Its complications include chronic graft-versus-host disease in 5-8% of patients. So, a molecular approach, such as gene therapy for direct normal beta globin gene transmission, seems quite promising ...
متن کاملModular Hydrogels for Drug Delivery
The development of novel drug delivery systems is an essential step toward controlled site-specific administration of therapeutics within the body. It is desirable for delivery vehicles to be introduced into the body through minimally invasive means and, these vehicles should be capable of releasing drug to their intended location at a controlled rate. Furthermore, it is desirable to develop dr...
متن کاملGene delivery to the retina using lentiviral vectors.
The delivery of foreign DNA to the retina has proven to be a valuable tool for investigations of retinal disease, development, and complex cellular interactions. To achieve efficient and stable retinal gene expression with minimal unwanted side effects, viral vectors derived from AAV (adeno-associated virus) and LV (lentivirus) remain the vehicles of choice. LV vectors have gained recent attent...
متن کاملGene delivery to hematopoietic stem cells using lentiviral vectors.
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are clonogenic cells capable of both selfrenewal and multilineage differentiation. An efficient method for gene transfer into HSCs is required for exploring HSC biology as well as for gene therapy of hematopoietic disorders. Retroviral vectors have been the most widely used vectors for gene transfer to HSCs. However, retroviral vectors require cell division for i...
متن کاملCell type specific gene delivery by lentiviral vectors
Many cells of the immune system are defined by distinct surface markers, which can be used to restrict gene delivery exclusively to a cell type of choice. This article explains recent findings about a CD8-specific vector that enhances the killing of tumor cells in TCR-based gene transfer strategies.
