Abstract

Gene therapy for cystic fibrosis (CF) has been the subject ofintense research over the last twenty-five years or more, usingboth viral and liposomal delivery methods, but so far withoutthe emergence of a clinical therapy. New approaches to CFgene therapy involving recent improvements to vector systems,both viral and non-viral, as well as new nucleic acidtechnologies have led to renewed interest in the field. The fieldof therapeutic gene editing is rapidly developing with theemergence of CRISPR/Cas9 as well as chemically modifiedmRNA therapeutics. These new types of nucleic acid therapiesare also a good fit with delivery by non-viral deliveryapproaches which has led to a renewed interest in lipid-basedand other nanoformulations
