Descriptions

Gene therapy and genetic engineering are subjects of intense interest and hope, with implications in areas ranging from human health to food production. This book offers a comprehensive look at these allied fields, presenting new research from across the world. In the first part, current research findings on genetic manipulation of DNA and protein. Topics examined include inherited connective tissue disorders of collagens, and genetic perspectives on the biological activity of insecticidal toxins. Part two considers the tools and potential applications of gene therapy. Chapters explore topics including non-viral delivery systems in gene therapy, and gene therapy for chronic pain management. Part three examines the basics, new applications and possibilities of genetic engineering. Chapters range across topics from the genetic engineering of plants for virus resistance to genetically engineering virus-vectored vaccines. Finally, part three focuses on genetic engineering, and includes a study of media presentations of Dolly the Sheep and human cloning. This high-quality collection of original research studies will be an enlightening and stimulating volume for researchers and students alike, providing up-to-date knowledge as well as prospects for future advances.
