Gene therapy is a very rapidly advancing field.
Even if its theory has been firmly established some time ago, the clinical implementation of gene therapy continues to rely heavily on a constant stream of technological improvements. Different editors have coped with this vast and rapidly moving field, either by restricting the applications to certain target tissues, or by focussing on new improvements in individual vectors. In this book the editor has chosen a balanced approach. This represents a broad and balanced view of what you can achieve in your tissue of interest using a particular vector. All chapters have materials, methods, notes, and generous bibliography sections, which should serve as useful guides for anyone wanting to explore a method further.
