One obstacle to effective gene therapies for neurological disorders lies in the cell-type diversity of the nervous system, making it difficult to direct gene delivery vectors to specific types of cells. To meet this challenge, we have developed a recombinant peptide-based gene delivery vector that targets nerve growth factor (NGF) receptors. The peptide comprises a cell-targeting domain derived from...
Gene delivery into the CNS without tissue destruction is challenging. As neurons are capable of taking up exogenous particulates from the muscles that they innervate, we investigated the feasibility of achieving gene transfer in CNS neurons by peripheral intramuscular injection of plasmid DNA complexed with the cationic polymer polyethylenimine (PEI) in the rat hypoglossal system. Using the luciferase...
