-Cancer Biology and Therapy

This comprehensive volume presents the most recent advances intarget definition technology and provides a detailed overview onthe rational design of targeted vectors for gene therapy. Atheoretical framework for advanced vector design is provided thatintegrates all of the allied sciences relevant to the study ofvector targeting. The text discusses the basic underlying scienceand then leads to discussions of the various viral vectors andmethods of defining targets. Finally, an expert outlook onpromising therapeutic applications is offered.
