Gene Therapy

Findings in gene therapy reported from Northwestern University

Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, November 29th, 2007

"Hydrogels have been widely used in tissue engineering as a support for tissue formation or to deliver non-viral gene therapy vectors locally. Hydrogels that combine these functionalities can provide a fundamental tool to promote specific cellular processes leading to tissue formation," scientists in the United States report.

"This report investigates controlled release of gene therapy vectors from hydrogels as a function of the physical properties for both the hydrogel and the vector. Hydrogels were formed by photocrosslinking acryl-modified hyaluronic acid (HA) with a 4-arm poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) acryl. The polymer content, and relative composition of HA and PEG...
