Gene therapy is being explored as a means of treating a variety of genetic diseases. Because of the central role of the liver in many metabolic pathways, and the relative ease with which foreign genes can be delivered to hepatocytes, monogenic disorders that result in deficiencies of liver-specific
According to Sects. 2 and 3 of the German drug statute, (Arzneimittelgesetz, AMG) gene technology and gene therapy products as well as somatic cell therapy products are regarded as drugs and are therefore subject to Sects. 40 and 41, stipulating the requirements for clinical studies designed to test
We eliminated type beta transforming growth factor (TGF-beta) signaling by adenovirus-mediated local expression of a dominant-negative type II TGF-beta receptor (AdCATbeta-TR) in the liver of rats treated with dimethylnitrosamine, a model of persistent liver fibrosis. In rats that received a single
