title: Cystic fibrosis gene therapy.
abstract: A variety of cystic fibrosis gene therapy approaches based on viral (adenovirus, retrovirus, and adeno-associated virus) and non-viral (liposomes and receptor-mediated endocytosis) routes are currently being assessed for safety and efficacy. Of these, the trials involving liposomal and adenoviral vectors are the most advanced, as both have been shown to correct the cystic fibrosis Cl- conductance defect in vivo.
