Cancer Cell-Targeted Gene Therapy

This template was adapted from the original submission. Edits were made to enhance scientific accuracy, optimal usability and/or to meet industry-leading design standards for science communication. Nontoxic gene carriers, such as viral and non-viral vectors, can be used to encapsulate and deliver genetic material to target cells. In particular, this approach can offer a targeted cancer treatment. Therapeutic genes that are encapsulated within these vectors are able to selectively enter cancer cells where they are transcribed and translated into cytotoxic proteins. The latter are capable of inactivating protein synthesis, ultimately leading to apoptosis of the cancer cell.
