Gene therapy is an effective strategy for treating several diseases,and safe and efficient vector systems are the basis for gene therapy applications.The non-viral episomal vectors are preferred as a gene transfer too...
The most commonly used preclinical models of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)are limited for use in testing of intra-arterial therapies such as transarterial chemoembolization and radioembolization.Issues encountered wit...

Cytosolic retinoic acid-inducible gene I(RIG-I) is an important innate immune RNA sensor and can induce antiviral cytokines, e.g., interferon-β(IFN-β). Innate immune response to hepatitis B virus(HBV) plays a ...

Woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) is molecularly and pathogenically closely related to hepatitis B virus (HBV).Both viruses display tropism towards hepatocytes and cells of the immune system and cause similar liver path...
The clinical utility of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging for liver cancer applications is not clearly defined either for diagnosis or treatment assessment. Previous clinical studies demonstrated that fluorod...
