Cardiovascular Gene Transfer

Tissue Engineering, 1995
The cardiovascular system is a promising site for gene delivery because of its large surface area and direct contact with the blood stream. Gene transfer into vascular cells by adenoviral and retroviral vectors or liposomes has been demonstrated in several cell types and animal models.

Gene Transfer: Conjugation

2014
Conjugation is a gene transfer process in which a recipient bacterium receives DNA from a donor bacterium by cell-to-cell contact through conjugative pili. Conjugation is mediated by certain plasmids or transposons. Here, we describe plasmid conjugation.

Vascular gene transfer

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 1997
Vascular gene transfer may be useful for the treatment of several cardiovascular diseases. It can also be used as an experimental tool to test the effects of various genes in a local vascular compartment. Promising therapeutic effects have been obtained in animal models of restenosis with the transfer of vascular endothelial growth factor, nitric oxide

Novel Gene Transfer Systems: Intelligent Gene Transfer Vectors for Gene Medicines

Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2012
Drug delivery systems for gene transfer are called 'vectors'. These systems were originally invented as a delivery system for the transfection in vitro or in vivo. Several vectors are then developed for clinical use of gene medicines and currently some of them are approved as animal drugs.

Electroporative Gene Transfer

2009
Membrane electroporation (MEP) uses short high-voltage pulses to render cell membranes transiently porous and therewith permeable to otherwise impermeable substances. This technique was first described, in vitro, by Neumann in 1982. In vivo, this method is restricted to solid tissues accessible to the electrodes used to apply the electric field pulses.

Gene Transfer: Transduction

2014
Bacteriophages able to propagate on Pseudomonas strains are very common and can be easily isolated from natural environments or lysogenic strains. The development of transducing systems has allowed bacterial geneticists to perform chromosome analyses and mutation mapping.

Gene Co-Inheritance and Gene Transfer

Science, 2007
Functional transfer of mitochondrial genes to the nucleus is very common in some taxa but entirely lacking in others. Current evolutionary theories to account for this variation predict that outcrossing, which allows escape from Muller's ratchet and faster spread of beneficial mutations, should favor gene transfer. We find that functional gene transfer

Reproductive tract gene transfer

Fertility and Sterility, 2003
Gene therapy is a rapidly evolving novel treatment for human disease. This review discusses the latest development in gene transfer technology and its potential use in the female reproductive tract.A comprehensive search using the MEDLINE database was performed to review current, innovative trends in gene transfer technology.

Mammalian Gene Transfer and Gene Expression

1986
It has long been the desire of molecular biologists to be able to study the regulation of expression of specific mammalian genes. With the advent of recombinant DNA technology and the availability of specific cloned genes, several new approaches to these studies have emerged.

Detecting Laterally Transferred Genes

2012
Methods for identifying alien genes in genomes fall into two general classes. Phylogenetic methods examine the distribution of a gene's homologues among genomes to find those with relationships not consistent with vertical inheritance. These approaches include identifying orphan genes which lack homologues in closely related genomes and genes with ...
