New Cancer Gene Therapy Study Results from National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research Described (Current Advances In Non-viral Nanoparticle-based Gene Therapy for Effective Management of Cancer).

A new report from the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research in Telangana, India discusses the potential of gene therapy as an effective treatment for cancer. The researchers highlight the ability of gene therapy to target oncogenes and improve the selectivity and effectiveness of anticancer therapy. However, conventional gene therapy has limitations, such as low therapeutic effectiveness and rapid degradation of genetic material. To address these issues, researchers are exploring the use of multifunctional nanoparticles to enhance therapeutic efficacy and limit degradation. The study explores various gene modulation techniques and nanoscale vectors made of polymers, lipids, and inorganic materials. These vectors are being investigated for their potential to deliver genetic material specifically to cancer cells, with the aim of advancing targeted cancer therapy. [Extracted from the article]
