A gene delivery method long sought in the field of gene therapy: a deactivated virus carrying a gene of interest that can be injected into the bloodstream and make its way to the right cells, is being developed by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis who are working in mice. In this early proof-of-concept study, the scientists have shown that they can target tumor blood vessels in mice without affecting healthy tissues. "Most ...Tuesday, 24 December 2013
Tumor Blood Vessels Targeted By Gene Therapy
