Antisense and gene transfer therapies show promise for genetic diseases but face challenges in clinical application. This review explores their potential for treating parasitic diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Antisense and gene transfer therapies are gaining attention for treating genetic disorders and cancers.
  • Clinical trials are underway for conditions like leukemia, lung cancer, and immunodeficiency diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the rationale, challenges, and potential of gene suppression and transfer techniques.
  • To explore the application of these advanced therapies in combating parasitic diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current gene therapy and antisense technology applications.
  • Analysis of successes and limitations in preclinical and clinical studies.
  • Assessment of applicability to parasitic infections.
