Pharmaceutical Perspectives of Nucleic Acid-Based Therapy (Hardcover)

Pharmaceutical Perspectives of Nucleic Acid-Based Therapeutics presents a comprehensive account of gene therapy, from development in the laboratory, to clinical applications, with an emphasis on cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases as well as cancer. Several internationally acclaimed scientists discuss the potential use of lipids, peptides and polymers for the in vivo delivery of nucleic acids, the genesis of structure-synthesis-function interrelationships and the evolutionary approaches of these gene carriers. How the components of a viable gene expression system would influence the disease state by controlling gene regulation, transcription, translation and replication are also systematically addressed.
