Abstract
Helper-dependent adenoviral vectors (HDAd) have several characteristics making them very attractive for human gene therapy. These vectors are completely devoid of viral coding sequences and are able to mediate high efficiency transduction in vivo to direct high level transgene expression with negligible chronic toxicity. Progress towards liver and lung directed gene therapy with HDAd as well as the current obstacles facing human applications and possible strategies to overcome these obstacles are discussed.

Programmed Cell Death Genes in Oncology: Pioneering Therapeutic and Diagnostic Frontiers (BMS-CGT-2024-HT-45)
Programmed Cell Death (PCD) is recognized as a pivotal biological mechanism with far-reaching effects in the realm of cancer therapy. This complex process encompasses a variety of cell death modalities, including apoptosis, autophagic cell death, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, each of which contributes to the intricate landscape of cancer development and ...read more
