9783642848445: Gene Transfer and Therapy in the Nervous System

Synopsis

Gene transfer technology is a powerful tool for increasingour understandingof brain functions. It is also the basisof gene therapy, which is now technically possible for thecorrection of many human diseases, including severaldisorders of the nervous (and muscular) system such asAlzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and dystrophy.This volume,which contains the proceedings of a symposiumof the Fondation Ipsen, provides a unique view of the stateof the art on different transgenes, vectors, target cells,and clinical applications related to the nervous system.
