Targeting the heart with gene therapy-optimized gene delivery methods

Abstract excerpt

With evolving knowledge in molecular and cellular cardiology, cardiac gene therapy has already been investigated in clinical studies. Different vector systems for cardiac gene therapy have been developed in recent years. While non-viral vectors, such as plasmid DNA, allow remarkable organ specificity, they are often limited by low transfection efficiency and transient gene expression. In contrast, adenoviral or...
