Abstract

There are presently a number of applications for gene therapy, and a number of promising approaches. This chapter describes a variety of methodologies that could potentially be employed to address some of the deficiencies of current delivery vehicles employed in gene therapy. In particular, approaches that may provide for specific targeting or the sustained release of therapeutically administered genetic material are discussed.
