✦ Synopsis

Pharmaceutical Perspectives of Nucleic Acid-Based Therapeutics presents a comprehensive account of gene therapy, from development in the laboratory, to clinical applications, with an emphasis on cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases as well as cancer. Several internationally acclaimed scientists discuss the potential use of lipids, peptides and polymers for the in vivo delivery of nucleic acids, the genesis of structure-synthesis-function interrelationships and the evolutionary approaches of these gene carriers. The book is an essential guide to aspiring entrants in the various aspects of nucleic acid-based therapeutics as well as a refresher to those already in the gene therapy field.
