However, many patients who were eligible for treatment were not treated. [14] [15] tPA has also been given to patients with acute ischemic stroke above age 90 years old. Although a small fraction of patients 90 years and above treated with tPA for acute ischemic stroke recover, most patients have a poor 30-day functional outcome or die. [16]
Gene therapy may be classified into two types by the type of cell it affects: somatic cell and germline gene therapy. In somatic cell gene therapy (SCGT), the therapeutic genes are transferred into any cell other than a gamete, germ cell, gametocyte, or undifferentiated stem cell.

Cambiogenplasmid, marketed as Neovasculgen, is a gene therapy drug for treatment of peripheral artery disease, including critical limb ischemia; it delivers the gene encoding for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). [1] [2] Neovasculogen is a plasmid encoding the CMV promoter and the 165 amino acid form of VEGF.
The results of the new treatment have since been reported in the Lancet medical journal, showing the dramatic and “life-changing improvements” to vision from the gene therapy for all four ...
CADASIL or CADASIL syndrome, involving cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy, is the most common form of hereditary stroke disorder and is thought to be caused by mutations of the NOTCH3 gene on chromosome 19. [1] The disease belongs to a family of disorders called the leukodystrophies.
In gene therapy, a gene encoding for a certain protein is inserted into a vector. [11] The vector containing the therapeutic gene is then injected into the patient. [11] Once inside the body the vector introduces the therapeutic gene into host cells, and the protein encoded by the newly inserted gene is then produced by the body's own cells. [11]
