| Summary | Annotation Praise for the Series "Recommended not only to pharmacologists but also to all those in related disciplines." --NATURE "The works do represent an extensive compilation of recent data by outstanding researchers in this area. They are generally scientifically excellent, the bibliographies are good, and the individual reports are clear, concise, and extremely well illustrated." --H.E. Kaufmann in CHEMOTHERAPY "Superb reading material." --JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES Gene therapy has rapidly become a new frontier in pharmacology and experimental therapeutics. An explosion of interest in the identity, structure and function of genes, the mapping of the human genome, and the realization of the genetic basis of many diseases has been the genesis of a new paradigm in medical research-that of genetic medicine. Inevitably, studies of the genetic bases of disease and the application of gene therapy to disease processes will lead to new discoveries for disease control. The evolution of gene therapy includes not only identification of genes and gene products, but also of mechanisms for delivery and for regulation of gene expression. Advanced programs already exist for the treatment of many disease processes including blood clotting disorders, anemias, growth deficiency, liver function, cancer, neurological abnormalities, cardian malfunction, obesity, vision, and a host of genetic diseases. This volume of Advances in Pharmacology features important new research on gene transfers and therapy in the herpes simplex virus, anti-tumor immunity, steroid receptors, cystic fibroses, and more. |
