Abstract
The last 10 years have seen substantial progress in the development and application of nonviral vectors in gene therapy. Several novel nonviral methods have been developed that approach viruses with respect to transfection efficiency. A variety of nonviral delivery systems that can be used for gene therapy in different clinical settings are also available. In this review article, we will detail all of the major nonviral vectors that are currently used in gene therapy while highlighting some recent developments, particularly the progress towards the understanding of the cellular and in vivo barriers in gene transfer. Recent advancement in achieving sustained and regulated gene expression will also be addressed. Finally, this review will briefly cover targeted gene repair using nonviral delivery systems. Their impact in gene therapy will also be discussed.

Melatonin Signaling in Health and Disease
Melatonin regulates a multitude of physiological functions, including circadian rhythms, acting as a scavenger of free radicals, an anti-inflammatory agent, a modulator of mitochondrial homeostasis, an antioxidant, and an enhancer of nitric oxide bioavailability. AANAT is the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for converting serotonin to NAS, further converted to melatonin by ...read more
Programmed Cell Death Genes in Oncology: Pioneering Therapeutic and Diagnostic Frontiers
Programmed Cell Death (PCD) is recognized as a pivotal biological mechanism with far-reaching effects in the realm of cancer therapy. This complex process encompasses a variety of cell death modalities, including apoptosis, autophagic cell death, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, each of which contributes to the intricate landscape of cancer development and ...read more
