objective(s): p-glycoprotein (p-gp) is an efflux protein, the overexpression of which has been associated with multidrug resistance in various cancers. although sirna delivery to reverse p-gp expression may be promising for sensitizing of tumor cells to cytotoxic drugs, the therapeutic use of sirna requires effective carriers that can deliver sirna intracellularly with minimal toxicity on targe...

Currently, 33 gene-therapy drugs/products have been approved in the clinic. Over 3000 completed and ongoing clinical gene therapy trials reported worldwide. The development/maturation of tools for manipulation delivery, as well molecular advances diagnosis genetic diseases, played a central role therapy, which greatly revolutionized field. Versatile diverse manipulations deliveries, with possib...

Heterogeneous loss of function mutations at F8 and F9 genes causes X-linked recessive bleeding disorders, hemophilia A (HA) and hemophilia B (HB), respectively. HA is clinically indistinguishable from HB and accounts for more than 80% of hemophilia cases; the former affects 1/5000 and the latter 1/25000 male births worldwide. In Iran, it is estimated that around 4300 HA and 900 HB patients are ...

background: in gene therapy, the use of rna molecules as therapeutic agents has shown advantages over plasmid dna, including higher levels of safety. however, transient nature of rna has been a major obstacle in application of rna in gene therapy. methods: here, we used the internal ribosomal entry site of encephalomyocarditis virus and the 3’ non-translated region of poliovirus to design an en...

Gene editing and gene therapy have been the forefront technologies in life sciences that received increasing attention recent years. They provide new avenues methods for treatment of human diseases biological research. This review systematically elucidates concepts historical developments therapy. It introduces definition, classification, technical principles, application areas editing, reviews...

Objective(s) Recombinant adenoviruses are currently used for a variety of purposes, including in vitro gene transfer, in vivo vaccination, and gene therapy. Ability to infect many cell types, high efficiency in gene transfer, entering both dividing and non dividing cells, and growing to high titers make this virus a good choice for using in various experiments. In the present experiment, a reco...
