To treat disease or correct genetic disorders using gene therapy,
the most suitable vehicle must be able to deliver genes to the
appropriate tissues and cells in the body in a specific as well as
safe and effective manner. While viruses are the most popular
vehicles to date, their disadvantages include toxicity, limited
size of genes they can carry, and limited scale of industrial
production. Polymeric Gene Delivery: Principles and Applications is
the first comprehensive book to specifically address polymeric gene
delivery systems. Uniting the expertise of international academic
and industrial scientists who are working in the area of polymeric
vectors for gene delivery, it is written by prominent researchers
directly involved in this field. The book is divided into five
sections that deal with challenges and opportunities in gene
delivery and the efficient delivery of genes into somatic cells
using polymeric vectors. The authors discuss using biodegradable
polymers, condensing and non-condensing polymeric systems,
microspheres and nanospheres, and designing specialized delivery
systems based on targeting strategies. Polymeric Gene Delivery:
Principles and Applications accentuates the versatility of
polymeric delivery systems, including the potential for
biocompatibility, the ability to design their formulation and
geometry for a specific purpose, and the ease of modification to
the surface of polymeric carriers. This book is an up-to-date guide
for researchers in the field and those interested in entering this
dynamic field.
