What, exactly, is "gene therapy"? Crystallizing a modern definition of "gene therapy" has now become critically important on several fronts. Following the recent of passage the 21st Century Cures Act, FDA now relies on the term to give regulatory incentives to sponsors of certain ‘regenerative medicines’, including ‘gene therapies’.

In recent years, there have been a number of technological breakthroughs that have allowed for clinical trials in gene therapy to be initiated. In combination with the genome initiative, the potential for new therapeutics is limitless. Although an enormous amount of information has been obtained in a relatively short period of time, gene therapy ...

Gene therapy on the move [PDF]
The first gene therapy clinical trials were initiated more than two decades ago. In the early days, gene therapy shared the fate of many experimental medicine approaches and was impeded by the occurrence of severe side effects in a few treated patients.

Gene therapy is not yet possible, but may become feasible soon, particularly for well understood gene defects. Although treatment of a patient raises no ethical problems once it can be done well, changing the genes of an early embryo is more difficult, controversial and unlikely to be required clinically.

Anticancer Gene Transfer for Cancer Gene Therapy [PDF]
Gene therapy vectors are among the treatments currently used to treat malignant tumors. Gene therapy vectors use a specific therapeutic transgene that causes death in cancer cells.

Antibody-based CCR5 blockade protects Macaques from mucosal SHIV transmission
CCR5 is a co-receptor for many transmitted HIV strains. Here, the authors show that biweekly injection of the CCR5-specific antibody Leronlimab protects rhesus macaques against infection following repeated intrarectal challenges of a CCR5-tropic SHIV.

Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are vehicles for gene therapy in humans, but currently only a limited amount of AAV serotypes is available. Here, the authors identify a novel AAV, AAVv66, and demonstrate enhanced production yields, virion stability, and ...
