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, including mRNA vaccines 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 as well as covid SARS-2 vaccinations. Finally, we will discuss the side effects occurring during gene therapy and the ethical considerations will also be mentioned.
