Gene therapy using an Adenovirus vector.

Gene therapy may be used for treating, or even curing, genetic and acquired diseases like cancer and AIDS by using normal genes to supplement or replace defective genes or to bolster a normal function such as immunity.

Gene therapy faces many obstacles before it can become a practical approach for treating disease.

Gene therapy, uses genetically modified viruses to deliver genes that can cure disease into humans.

Gene therapy targeting the reproductive cells — so-called " Germ line Gene Therapy "— is very controversial and is unlikely to be developed in the near future.

Gene therapy was first conceptualized in 1972, with the authors urging caution before commencing gene therapy studies in humans.

Gene therapy may be classified into the two following types:

Gene therapy utilizes the delivery of DNA into cells, which can be accomplished by a number of methods.

In 1972 Friedmann and Roblin authored a paper in Science titled " Gene therapy for human genetic disease?

Gene therapy is being developed that would allow for weeks or months long effect, supporting erections.

* Gene cassette, a term used to describe certain vectors that are normally used to confer a selectable marker on an organism

Gene therapy vectors using AAV can infect both dividing and non-dividing cells and persist in an extrachromosomal state without integrating into the genome of the host cell.

Gene therapy techniques have also been studied to provide long-term production of growth factors and could be delivered with viral or non-viral vectors such as lipoplexes.
