Virus: is a biological agent that reproduces inside the cells of living hosts. When infected, a host cell produces thousands of identical copies of the original virus at an extraordinary rate.
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) and lentiviral vectors (LV) are vehicles for direct delivery of therapeutic genes to patients' cells. In the coming years, the use of AAV and LV...
