Summary

• This up-to-the-minute and comprehensive resource lucidly covers gene therapy for lung diseases from existing technologies delivering foreign DNA to the lungs via the airways or circulation to promising new approaches for the further development of safe and efficient gene delivery systems.
• Containing over 1350 bibliographic citations, tables, drawings, and photographs, Gene Therapy for Diseases of the Lung is an indispensable volume for pulmonologists, geneticists, molecular and cell biologists, oncologists, internists, physiologists, scientists involved in gene therapy, and graduate and medical school students in these disciplines.
