message: *Main Focus: Update "Viral gene therapy" subsection of "Specific projects and products" section.
**Previous content was outdated and lacked notability given the current state of the field
**New content provides information related to viral gene therapy products that have been approved in the US and/or EU
*Ensure that information listed is backed by reputable sources with proper citations, with a focus on the "Viral gene therapy" section (currently has no citations)
*Minor rewording throughout to maintain encyclopedic writing style
*Addition of links to other Wikipedia articles where applicable
*Addition of images, specifically of viral gene therapy

thread_title:  Plans for article improvement 

message: Hello, I am a 4th year medical student participating in a Wikiproject Medicine course. 
 A general outline of my work plan is below:
* For each section (oncolytic virotherapy, viral gene therapy, and viral immunotherapy) I plan to organize by the following:
** mechanisms: discuss the idea behind using virus for each of the following use
** clinical developments: discuss up to date trials and gene therapy products (may reorganize it to include specific projects and products) 
** Challenges: the challenge with each therapy 
In addition, I will be incorporating the plans for article improvements suggested by Biologist122.

message: Great job with the wikipage 14jzl! Organizing each section (oncolytic virotherapy, viral gene therapy, viral immunotherapy) by mechanism, clinical development, and challenges is intuitive and gives the page a nice flow. The citations are appropriate and have working links. The page is readable without much unnecessary punctuation or run-on sentences. The mechanisms are explained with technical detail appropriate for the page, the clinical developments are up-to-date, and important challenges are mentioned. 
Suggestions:
There are a few grammatical errors scattered throughout the page.
Oncolytic virotherapy)
mechanism: What are some examples of receptors on tumor cells which viruses target? How does the tumor microenvironment prevent recognition by the host immune system?
clinical development: What are some examples of the clinical trials?
challenges: What are some flu-like symptoms? What are some of the "safety concerns"?
viral gene therapy)
mechanism: Provide some examples of diseases that could be treated with viral gene therapy.
clinical development: What are some of the "several other features" that make Adeno-associated virus attractive for use in viral gene therapy?
challenges: What are some of the ethical implications of the technology?
viral immunotherapy)
cancer treatment: This section needs some citations.
Overall, great job!

thread_title:  Wikiproject Medicine; UCF College of Medicine peer review 

message: I was unable to find any source in regards to the following sentence:
"One more method; gene confusion, in this method we can introduce specific artificial receptor in by which virus can bind, and resulting severity can be minimised.e.g.; introduction CD4 receptor against HIV virus."
Because of this, I've removed it. If anyone is able to find the source for this please reverse my change. Thank you
