Gene delivery is a therapeutic strategy that’s revolutionizing biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. It involves the delivery of new genetic molecules into target cells to treat diseases. This technology has the implicit to revise the treatment of inherited genetic disorders, cancer and other intractable driseases. Scientists are using a variety of gene delivery strategies to insert new genes into cells. One common biological system is viral gene delivery, where the viral vectors are modified to ...
