Do lentiviral vectors hold the answer to glaucoma therapy?
Fort Lauderdale, FL-Investigators have shown for the first time in nonhuman primates that, using lentiviral vectors, it is possible to achieve good gene marker expression that is sustained and that does not cause inflammation or other side effects.
