This Section of Biomedicines (ISSN: 2227-9059) aims to rapidly publish contributions on all aspects of the latest research results concerning gene and cell therapy. We encourage the submission of manuscripts that provide novel and mechanistic insights and papers that report significant advances in the therapeutic delivery of nucleic acid into a patient's cells as a drug to treat disease.
