Various regions of the brain have been successfully transduced by recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors with no detected toxicity. When using the cytomegalovirus immediate early (CMV) promoter, a gradual decline in the number of transduced cells has been described. In contrast, the use o

## Abstract A non‐toxic, targeted, simple and efficient system that can specifically transfect peripheral sensorial neurons can pave the way towards the development of new therapeutics for the treatment of peripheral neuropathies. In this study chitosan (CH), a biodegradable polymer, was used as th
## Abstract ## Background RNA interference provides a powerful technology for specific gene silencing. Therapeutic applications of small interfering RNA (siRNA) however require efficient vehicles for stable complexation, protection, and extra‐ and intracellular delivery of these nucleic acids. Her
## Abstract ## Background Assistance with exit from endocytic vesicles is a key factor for non‐viral gene delivery, and is a particular challenge __in vivo__. We have evaluated the __in vivo__ use of chloroquine administered systemically, orally and/or locally for gene delivery to the liver. ## M
## Abstract ## Background The success of gene therapy for inherited neurodegenerative diseases such as metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) depends on the development of efficient gene delivery throughout the brain guarded by the blood–brain barrier and achieves distribution of the deficient enzyme
