There is excitement generated almost daily about the possible uses of stem cells to treat human disease. Much of the interest of late is generated by embryonic stem cells (ESCs). As exciting as ESCs may be, they are quite controversial for moral reasons, given their source. They are also scientifica
Gene therapy has been proposed to have implications in the treatment of cancer. By genetically manipulating the hematopoietic stem cell compartment with genes that confer resistance to chemotherapeutic agents, the dose escalation that is necessary to effectively treat the cancers could potentially b
More than a decade has passed since the first experiments using adenovirus-transduced cells expressing bone morphogenetic protein 2 were performed for the synthesis of bone. Since this time, the field of bone gene therapy has tackled many issues surrounding safety and efficacy of this type of strate
From the time that the genes encoding the defective proteins were cloned for a number of inherited diseases, it became a goal to correct those conditions by restoring the normal gene and thereby, its product. For the inherited disorders affecting the blood and its progenitor cells, the hematopoietic
