Science, 1993•science.orgThe development over the past decade of methods for delivering genes to mammalian cells
has stimulated great interest in the possibility of treating human disease by gene-based
therapies. However, despite substantial progress, a number of key technical issues need to
be resolved before gene therapy can be safely and effectively applied in the clinic. Future
technological developments, particularly in the areas of gene delivery and cell
transplantation, will be critical for the successful practice of gene therapy.
