Recent progress in microRNA-based delivery systems for the treatment of human disease [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are naturally occurring, small non-coding RNAs that mediate posttranscriptional regulation. Based on the level of sequence complementarity, miRNAs lead to the degradation of target mRNAs or the suppression of mRNA translation, thereby ...

Performance of AAV8 vectors expressing human factor IX from a hepatic-selective promoter following intravenous injection into rats [PDF]
Background: Vectors based on adeno-associated virus-8 (AAV8) have shown efficiency and efficacy for liver-directed gene therapy protocols following intravascular injection, particularly in relation to haemophilia gene therapy. AAV8 has also been proposed

Differential Transmission of Antiviral Drug-Resistant Chikungunya Viruses by
The chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is transmitted by female Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, mostly present in (sub)tropical regions. No antivirals are available to treat CHIKV infections.

Efficient delivery of Cre-recombinase to neurons in vivo and stable transduction of neurons using adeno-associated and lentiviral vectors [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Inactivating genes in vivo is an important technique for establishing their function in the adult nervous system. Unfortunately, conventional knockout mice may suffer from several limitations including embryonic or perinatal lethality and the

Development of Robust Freeze-Drying Process for Long-Term Stability of rVSV-SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine
The thermostability of vaccines, particularly enveloped viral vectored vaccines, remains a challenge to their delivery wherever needed. The freeze-drying of viral vectored vaccines is a promising approach but remains challenging due to the water removal ...

Rapid In-Process Monitoring of Lentiviral Vector Particles by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography
Lentiviral vectors (LVs) are a popular gene delivery tool in cell and gene therapy and they are a primary tool for ex vivo transduction of T cells for expression of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) in CAR-T cell therapies.

Viral Vectors Applied for RNAi-Based Antiviral Therapy
RNA interference (RNAi) provides the means for alternative antiviral therapy. Delivery of RNAi in the form of short interfering RNA (siRNA), short hairpin RNA (shRNA) and micro-RNA (miRNA) have demonstrated efficacy in gene silencing for therapeutic ...

Analysis of Adenovirus-Host Interactions to Improve Recombinant Adenoviral Vectors for Gene Therapy [PDF]
Recombinant adenoviral vectors are among the most commonly used vehicles in gene therapy. Replication-deficient adenoviruses include early generation adenoviruses, which are deleted in less than three adenoviral genes, and the high-capacity adenoviruses (
