Gene therapy in the vasculature and the kidney.
Gene therapy has many potential applications for the treatment of vascular disease. Though a number of tough problems remain to be solved, the potential specificity with which an almost limitless number of mechanisms could be targeted, and the success that has been achieved in animal models in vivo make it likely that we will see further rapid expansion of this technology, and therapeutic use of gene therapy in humans in the future.
