Nonviral Vector Systems

  • Chapter
Gene Therapy for Cancer

Part of the book series: Cancer Drug Discovery and Development ((CDD&D))

Abstract

Gene therapy requires efficient vectors for delivering therapeutic genes. Advances in developments of nonviral vectors have been established for improving the efficiency of gene delivery. This chapter describes different nonviral methods as well as their applications. Some new directions in developing nonviral vectors are also discussed.
