Current Controversies in the Biological Sciences
In recent years, advances in biological science and technology have outpaced policymakers' attempts to deal with them. Current Controversies in the Biological Sciences examines the ways in which the federal government uses scientific information in reaching policy decisions, providing case studies of the interactions between science and government on different biomedical, biological, and environmental issues. These case studies document a broad range of complex issues in science policy—from the Human Genome Project to tobacco regulation—and provide an accessible overview of both the science behind the issues and the policy-making process. The cases illustrate the different ways in which ...

The other Topic Editors declare no conflict of interest with regards to the Research Topic theme
Muscle Gene Therapy
Muscle disease represents an important health threat to the general population. There is essentially no cure. Gene therapy holds great promise to correct the genetic defects and eventually achieve full recovery in these diseases. Significant progresses have been made in the field of muscle gene therapy over the last few years. The development of novel gene delivery vectors has substantially enhanced specificity and efficiency of muscle gene delivery. The new knowledge on the immune response to viral vectors has added new insight in overcoming the immune obstacles. Most importantly, the field has finally moved from small experimental animal models to human patients. This book will bring together the leaders in the field of muscle gene transfer to provide an updated overview on the progress of muscle gene therapy. It will also highlight important clinical applications of muscle gene therapy.
Advances in Computer Science, Environment, Ecoinformatics, and Education, Part III
This 5-volume set (CCIS 214-CCIS 218) constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Science, Environment, Ecoinformatics, and Education, CSEE 2011, held in Wuhan, China, in July 2011. The 525 revised full papers presented in the five volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on information security, intelligent information, neural networks, digital library, algorithms, automation, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, computer networks, computational system, computer vision, computer modelling and simulation, control, databases, data mining, e-learning, e-commerce, e-business, ima...
Gene Therapy of the Central Nervous System: From Bench to Bedside
Few areas of biomedical research provide greater opportunities to capitalize upon the revolution in genomics and molecular biology than gene therapy. This is particularly true for the brain and nervous system, where gene transfer has become a key technology for basic research and has recently been translated to human therapy in several landmark clinical trials. Gene Therapy in the Brain: From Bench to Bedside represents the definitive volume on this subject. Edited by two pioneers of neurological gene therapy, this volume contains contributions by leaders who helped to create the field as well as those who are expanding the promise of gene therapy for the future of basic and clinical neurosc...
Gene Delivery Systems
This unique volume in our Drugs and Pharmaceutical Sciences series covers the development of gene therapy today, the technology involved, clinical applications of siRNA, non-viral vector-based mRNA delivery using nanotechnology, and RNA based vaccines for treating the infectious diseases. It also presents the current application of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technique which has revolutionized genome editing and which was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Several new drug delivery systems are explored for the applications of gene therapy. These are found to be useful in treating chronic illnesses, including cancer and infectious diseases. Key Features: Overview of the development of gene therapy Provides the most up to date information on the development of gene therapy, from the technology involved to gene correction and genome editing Presents CRISPR gene therapy recent trends and applications Discusses siRNA, mRNA, and DNA plasmids
JIMD Reports, Volume 19
JIMD Reports publishes case and short research reports in the area of inherited metabolic disorders. Case reports highlight some unusual or previously unrecorded feature relevant to the disorder, or serve as an important reminder of clinical or biochemical features of a Mendelian disorder.
Gene Therapy for HIV and Chronic Infections
This book centers on gene therapy and gene transfer approaches to prevent or treat chronic virus infections. The main focus is on the Big Three: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Ample anti-HIV drugs are currently available in the clinic and the development of an effective combination therapy has dramatically improved the lifespan and quality of life of infected individuals. A similar trend can already be recognized for HBV and HCV: the development of multiple (directly acting) antiviral drugs and plans to control or even cure the infection. However, approaches that help prevent infection, or which provide long-lasting treatment (such ...
Nanoparticles in Cancer Therapy
This book presents the role of nanoparticles in cancer therapy, emphasizing their innovative applications across treatment, diagnosis and the development of therapeutic strategies. The first section of the book describes the applications of nanoparticles in cancer vaccines and gene therapy. It features discussions on polymeric nanoparticles as nanovaccine carriers, membrane-based nano-vaccines for immunotherapy and gene therapy techniques employing nanoparticles. The second section presents advanced nanomedicine approaches, specifying the role of chemodynamic nanoparticles in cancer theranostics, the application of low-dimensional nanomaterials and emerging strategies against drug resistance...
