Platelet-targeted gene therapy with human factor VIII establishes haemostasis in dogs with haemophilia A
19 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
It is essential to improve therapies for controlling excessive bleeding in patients with haemorrhagic disorders. As activated blood platelets mediate the primary response to vascular injury, we hypothesize that storage of coagulation Factor VIII within platelets may provide a locally inducible treatment to maintain haemostasis for haemophilia A. Here we show that haematopoietic stem cell gene therapy can prevent...
