About this product
Product Information
KEY MESSSAGE: Will gene therapy one day become the ultimate application of genetic technology? "Gene Therapy," the newest booklet in the Special Topics in Biology Series, addresses this question by exploring gene therapy as a complex technology for delivering therapeutic genes as a way to treat and cure human genetic diseases. Author Mary Colavito provides an overview of the basic science involved in gene therapy methods and chronicles the history of gene therapy by discussing successful and ongoing gene therapy treatments as well as adverse outcomes in some cases of gene therapy. Also discussed are challenges that must be overcome for gene therapy to become a more reliable and readily accessible approach for treating a multitude of genetic diseases that affect humans. Gene Therapy: Methods Currently Employed, Partial Successes and Ongoing Trials, Setbacks, Challenges, Future Approaches For all readers interested in gene therapy as a complex technology for delivering therapeutic genes as a way to treat and cure human genetic diseases.

HIGH praise for this seller! I purchased 6 books from them and their prices were phenomenal and the condition was BETTER than advertised. They came looking absolutely flawless and were described as "good" or "very good". I am so pleased! Their communication was very quick and thorough and they shipped immediately while taking care to ship carefully. I could not be happier. I absolutely will buy from this seller again!

Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. All in all I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you and be safe. Good luck to the future.
