The study reports that adenovirus type 5, a common vector for delivering gene therapy, transfects liver cells by a different mechanism than previously thought. That mechanism offers a new target for modifying the viral vector to make it safe for clinical use. <p><a href="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~a/sciencedaily?a=rPCFb9"><img src="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~a/sciencedaily?i=rPCFb9" border="0"></img></a></p> <p><a href="http://science-nature.marc8.com/safer-gene-therapy-may-be-possible-using-novel-approach">read more</a></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/safer-gene-therapy-may-be-possible-using-novel-approach#comments Top stories gene therapy liver cells novel approach novel strategy viral vector http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/2237 Fri, 21 Mar 2008 20:00:00 -0500 admin 2237 at http://science-nature.marc8.com
