Nebulisation of Receptor-Targeted Nanocomplexes for Gene Delivery to the Airway Epithelium

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Gene therapy mediated by synthetic vectors may provide opportunities for new treatments for cystic fibrosis (CF) via aerosolisation. Vectors for CF must transfect the airway epithelium efficiently and not cause inflammation so they are suitable for repeated dosing. The inhaled aerosol should be deposited in the airways since the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR) is...
