Thematik

We wish to give a short overview about the present state of gene therapy, the current ongoing clinical trials and the potential side effects of gene therapy and about the ethical considerations. The various viral and non-viral gene delivery protocols suitable for high efficiency gene delivery both under in vitro and in vivo conditions will be discussed in details. Gene therapy protocols applied in the treatment of malignant diseases will be presented together with the results of ongoing clinical trials. We will talk about the results and the potentials of the treatments of inherited genetic disorders. One of the most promising field of the current clinical trials is the treatment of ischemic diseases, the results will be presented. The potential applications of stem cells during gene therapy will be described, as well. Finally, we will discuss the side effects occurring during gene therapy and the ethical considerations will also be mentioned.
