Gene therapy using stem cells.
Viral-mediated gene augmentation therapy has recently shown success in restoring vision to patients with retinal degenerative disorders. Key to this success was the availability of animal models that accurately presented the human phenotype to test preclinical efficacy and safety. These exciting studies support the use of gene therapy in the treatment of devastating retinal degenerative disease...
متن کاملHematopoietic stem cell gene therapy.
Gene therapy applications that target hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) offer great potential for the treatment of hematologic disease. Despite this promise, clinical success has been limited by poor rates of gene transfer, poor engraftment of modified cells, and poor levels of gene expression. We describe here the basic approach used for HSC gene therapy, briefly review some of the seminal clini...
متن کاملHematopoietic stem cell gene replacement therapy.
Human gene therapy trials have begun, and by early reports are a success [1]. The initial clinical trial which demonstrated the safety of infusing genetically marked lymphocytes into humans was reported in 1990 [2]. This paved the way for researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) :o begin the first therapeutic trials of treating adenosine deaminase deficient patients with genetical...
متن کاملStem cell based glioblastoma gene therapy Minireview**
There is no curative therapy for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) thus far. Combined therapies including surgery, followed by concomitant irradiation and chemotherapy with the DNA alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ), slightly improves patients’ survival but the prognosis remains poor. The fatal nature of glioblastoma is caused by tumor-initiating glioblastoma cells. The tumor tropic ability of adu...
متن کاملAutologous and Cancer Stem Cell Gene Therapy
Stem cells provide for life-long cell replacement in tissues and organs, and have inherent homing abilities that are critical in therapeutic applications. Stem cells are also the driving force of cancer where genetic/epigenetic alterations culminate in tumorigenesis either in tissue stem cells or in some of their derivatives. As a rare subset of the tumor, cancer stem cells are the only drive o...
