Gene Delivery Systems: Development and Applications

This unique volume in our Drugs and Pharmaceutical Sciences series  covers the development of gene therapy today, the technology involved,  clinical applications of siRNA, non-viral vector-based mRNA delivery  using nanotechnology, and RNA based vaccines for treating the infectious  diseases. It also presents the current application of the CRISPR/Cas9  gene-editing technique which has revolutionized genome editing and which  was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Several new drug  delivery systems are explored for the applications of gene therapy.  These are found to be useful in treating chronic illnesses, including  cancer and infectious diseases.

Key Features:
Overview of the development of gene therapy
Provides  the most up to date information on the development of gene therapy,  from the technology involved to gene correction and genome editing
