Cellular Genetic Therapy

Transplantation Proceedings, 2005
Cellular genetic therapy is the ultimate frontier for those pathologies that are consequent to a specific nonfunctional cellular type. A viable cure for there kinds of diseases is the replacement of sick cells with healthy ones, which can be obtained from the same patient or a different donor.

Genetic therapies and xenotransplantation

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2002
The number of patients in need of an organ transplant is increasing, while the number of satisfactory sources of organs has declined in many countries [101]. The resulting shortage of human organs has spurred an urgent effort to investigate alternative therapies, including the use of animal organs, tissues and cells (i.e., xenotransplantation ...

Genetic prodrug activation therapy

The Lancet, 1997
Genetic prodrug activation therapy shows promise as a therapeutic option for the treatment of cancer as well as a variety of other diseases. It involves the insertion of a gene encoding a drug-metabolizing enzyme into cells and the systemic administration of a prodrug. The prodrug is converted to a cytotoxic agent by the action of the expressed enzyme.

Genetic therapy for HIV/AIDS

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2003
Despite the tremendous success of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) introduced nearly 8 years ago for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), innovative therapies, including gene transfer approaches, are still required for nearly half of the general patient population.

Genetic therapies and xenotransplantation

Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 1999
There is an acute shortage of human organs available for transplantation. Transplanting animal organs or tissues is a potential solution and could also provide a novel means of gene delivery. Xenotransplantation faces many challenges, including the immune response of the recipient against the transplant, the physiological limitations of the transplant ...
