The past decade has brought significant advances in the field of gene therapy for both inherited and acquired diseases, especially with regard to respiratory disease. Barriers to gene transfer posed by the lung have led to the development of modifications of both vector and host in an attempt to increase the efficiency of transfer. Recently, progress has been made in both laboratory and clinical studies of gene therapy for cystic fibrosis, alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency and lung cancer.

Endometrial Cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecological malignancies, ranking first in developed countries and regions. The occurrence and development of EC is closely associated with genetic mutations. mutation, in particular, can lead to the dysfunction of numerous regulatory factors and alteration of the tumor microenvironment (TME).

The complicated neurological syndrome known as multiple sclerosis (MS) is typified by demyelination, inflammation, and neurodegeneration in the central nervous system (CNS). Managing this crippling illness requires an understanding of the complex interactions between neurophysiological systems, diagnostic techniques, and therapeutic methods. A complex series of processes, including immunological dysregulation, inflammation, and neurodegeneration, are involved in the pathogenesis of MS.

Surgical Neurology Branch, NINDS, NIH 10 Center Drive, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a devastating, aggressive primary brain tumor with poor patient outcomes and a five-year survival of less than 10%. Significant limitations to effective GBM treatment include poor drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier, drug resistance, and complex genetic tumor alterations. Gene therapy uses a mechanism different from other GBM therapies to reduce tumor growth and enhance antitumor immunity.
