Viral gene delivery

Gene delivery via viral vectors Gene delivery refers to the introduction of genetic material into cells for various purposes, including gene therapy and other applications. In this approach, effective transfer of the gene into target cells plays a key role. Gene carriers (vectors) are the main component of this method and fall into two primary […]
Physical Gene Transfer or Transfection Methods

Physical Gene Transfer or Transfection Methods While chemical (viral and non-viral) delivery systems have attracted significant attention for delivering nucleic acids to cells, non-viral physical gene transfer methods hold promise for hard-to-transfect cells. In physical gene transfer methods, nucleic acids are directly introduced into the cells. Chemical approaches utilize synthetic or natural compounds as carriers […]
