Länk - Transposoner istället för virus som bärare av genterapi
Now Marinee Chuah, Thierry VandenDriessche, Eyayu Belay and colleagues at the Catholic University of Leuven say they've developed a non-viral approach that overcomes some limitations associated with viral vectors. The technique is based on non-viral genetic elements called transposons -- mobile DNA elements -- that the scientists constructed to carry therapeutic genes into the target cell DNA, eliminating the need for viral vectors.
