title: Gene therapy. Is the future here yet?
abstract: Despite the overwhelming number of articles on gene therapy that have been published in the last few years, there is a paucity of trials that have successfully demonstrated the clinical usefulness of this modality. The enthusiasm characterizing some of the earlier studies has given way to a more realistic approach. The next step is to develop more efficient vectors for effective targeting and persistent gene expression.
