Improvements in the gene transfer vectors used in therapeutic trials have led to substantial clinical successes in patients with serious genetic conditions, such as immunodeficiency syndromes, blindness and some cancer types.Abstract:
Improvements in the gene transfer vectors used in therapeutic trials have led to substantial clinical successes in patients with serious genetic conditions, such as immunodeficiency syndromes, blindness and some cancer types. Several barriers need to be overcome before this type of therapy becomes a widely accepted treatment for a broad group of medical diseases. However, recent progress in the field is finally realizing some of the promises made more than 20 years ago, providing optimism for additional successes in the near future.read more

Effects of Gene Delivery Approaches on Differentiation Potential and Gene Function of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the effects of four non-viral gene delivery methods on stem cell multi-potency, including robotic microinjection, polyethylenimine (PEI), cationic liposome (cLipo), and calcium phosphate nanoparticles (CaP).
Validation of the pre-b cell receptor as a therapeutic target in b cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia
TL;DR: This dissertation showed that pre-BCRs formed transient, homotypic interactions that helped to maintain leukemia blast survival and displayed correlated motion at short separation distances that is consistent with the formation of dimers.

TL;DR: Gefit inib is superior to carboplatin-paclitaxel as an initial treatment for pulmonary adenocarcinoma among nonsmokers or former light smokers in East Asia and the presence in the tumor of a mutation of the EGFR gene is a strong predictor of a better outcome with gefitinib.

TL;DR: Retrovirus vector insertion can trigger deregulated premalignant cell proliferation with unexpected frequency, most likely driven by retrovirus enhancer activity on the LMO2 gene promoter.

TL;DR: A gene therapy trial for SCID-X1 was initiated, based on the use of complementary DNA containing a defective gammac Moloney retrovirus-derived vector and ex vivo infection of CD34+ cells, which provided full correction of disease phenotype and clinical benefit.

Progress and problems with the use of viral vectors for gene therapy
TL;DR: With the development of a leukaemia-like syndrome in two patients cured of a disease by gene therapy, it is timely to contemplate how far this technology has come, and how far it still has to go.

Genome editing with engineered zinc finger nucleases
TL;DR: A broad range of outcomes has resulted from the application of the same core technology: targeted genome cleavage by engineered, sequence-specific zinc finger nucleases followed by gene modification during subsequent repair.
