Abstract
Many different types of therapeutic genes, ranging from suicide genes, tumor suppressor genes, to genes encoding tumor-specific antigens, have been successfully delivered by insect baculoviral vectors to treat tumours in animal models. These encouraging results observed to date underscore the potential for using the non-human baculovirus to combat human cancer. The present review outlines the advances in this area and highlights the challenges behind translating the findings from research with baculoviral vectors into clinical practice.

Programmed Cell Death Genes in Oncology: Pioneering Therapeutic and Diagnostic Frontiers (BMS-CGT-2024-HT-45)
Programmed Cell Death (PCD) is recognized as a pivotal biological mechanism with far-reaching effects in the realm of cancer therapy. This complex process encompasses a variety of cell death modalities, including apoptosis, autophagic cell death, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, each of which contributes to the intricate landscape of cancer development and ...read more
