Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in vector technologies and our expanding knowledge in molecular biology render gene therapy as a new attractive approach to improve the growing burden of cardiovascular diseases throughout the world. Gene delivery vectors and methods with efficient, target specific, and safe profile are essential to promote clinical translation. In this Special Issue of JCDD “Cardiaovascular Gene Therapy”, the journal is seeking original manuscripts, comprehensive reviews and method protocols of novel techniques related to cardiovascular gene therapy.
