Development of Alveolar Epithelial Type II Cell-Specific Nuclear Targeting Vectors for Gene Therapy

Description:

Although non-viral gene therapy has great potential for use in the lung, several problems including inefficient gene transfer and expression and the relative lack of cell-specific targeting have limited its applications. The two approaches that have been used to target genes to desired cell types are through specific ligand-receptor interactions...

Mechanism of Nuclear Import of a Smooth Muscle Cell-Specific Plasmid Vector for Gene Therapy

Description:

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While many therapies have been used to treat vascular disease symptomatically, gene therapy offers a means of treating the molecular dysfunctions driving disease pathogenesis. Unfortunately, gene therapy has achieved only modest therapeutic success in clinical trials due to a...
