## Abstract ## Background AQ4N is metabolised in hypoxic cells by cytochrome P450s (CYPs) to the cytotoxin AQ4. Most solid tumours are known to contain regions of hypoxia whereas levels of CYPs have been found to vary considerably. Enhancement of CYP levels may be obtained using geneβdirected enzy
The past year has witnessed several advances in the development of targeted, cell-specific gene delivery systems of both viral and non-viral origin. Progress has been made in understanding the cellular mechanisms of nuclear import, and novel sequence-specific integrases have been developed that medi
