Characteristics and advantages of adeno-associated virus vector-mediated gene therapy for neurodegenerative diseases

Abstract excerpt

Common neurodegenerative diseases of the central nervous system are characterized by progressive damage to the function of neurons, even leading to the permanent loss of function. Gene therapy via gene replacement or gene correction provides the potential for transformative therapies to delay or possibly stop further progression of the neurodegenerative disease in affected patients. Adeno-associated virus has...
