A myeloid cell-binding adenovirus efficiently targets gene transfer to the lung and escapes liver tropism
Specific and efficient gene delivery to the lung has been hampered by liver sequestration of adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) vectors. The complexity of Ad5 liver tropism has largely been unraveled, permitting impr...

Tumor targeting carboxylesterase fused with anti-CEA scFv improve the anticancer effect with a less toxic dose of irinotecan
Irinotecan (CPT-11) is a key drug for the treatment of various cancers. CPT-11 can be considered to be a prodrug, since it needs to be activated into the toxic drug SN-38 by the enzyme carboxylesterase. Howeve...
