Cancer dendrimer gene genesis molecular medicine			The invention also provides improved methods for somatic gene therapy capitalizing on enhanced gene transfer, hematopoietic cellular populations, and novel constructs for enhancing retroviral-mediated DNA transfer into cells and their use. Advanced Research obtains United States patent by BIOTECH Patent News In 1985, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) approved somatic gene therapy trials, but said that it would not accept proposals for germline manipulation "at present. The Quiet Campaign for Genetically Engineered Humans by Hayes, Richard / Earth Island Journal [5,7-13] Genetic treatment strategies (pharmacogenetics) may include use of antisense oligonucleotides designed to bind to a region of a gene or messenger RNA to block transcription or translation or somatic gene therapy to transfer and express an exogenous normal gene into a patient's somatic cells.
