Nanoparticle applications in ocular gene therapy
The use of nanoparticles as carriers for the delivery of therapeutic materials to target tissues has became popular in recent years and has demonstrated great potentials for the treatments of a wide range of diseases. In this review, we summarize the advantages of nanotechnology as a common gene delivery strategy with emphasis on ocular therapy. Particular attention is paid to the CK30-PEG comp...
متن کاملOcular gene therapy: quo vadis?
The question of where gene therapy is going has almost as many answers as there are practitioners in the field. Narrowing our focus to diseases of the eye, this diversity of opinions does not contract proportionately. Therefore, rather than forecasting the future, it is more useful to assess the field today, including a consideration of where problems remain before clinical trials would be gene...
متن کاملGene therapy for ocular angiogenesis.
Ocular neovascularization is a central feature of diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. These conditions are the major causes of blindness in the developed world. Current treatments are of limited efficacy and associated with significant adverse effects. Characterization of the molecular and cellular events involved in angiogenesis has led to the identification of a number ...
متن کاملNanoparticle-mediated drug delivery and gene therapy.
Biomedical application of nanotechnology is a rapidly developing area that raises new prospect in the improvement of diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. The ability to incorporate drugs or genes into a functionalized nanoparticle demonstrates a new era in pharmacotherapy for delivering drugs or genes selectively to tissues or cells. It is envisioned that the transfer of nanoengineering c...
متن کاملOrthopedic applications of gene therapy.
A literature review of the applications of gene therapy for the treatment of orthopedic disorders was conducted, and showed that gene therapy provides us with new possibilities for the clinical management of orthopedic disorders. Most of these disorders, such as failure to obtain spinal fusion, disc degeneration, fracture and segmental bone defects, bone tumor, articular disorders, soft-tissue ...
