Lentiviral Vectors with Amplified Beta Cell-Specific Gene Expression

An important goal of gene therapy is to be able to deliver genes so that they express in a pattern that recapitulates the expression of an endogenous cellular gene. Although tissue-specific promoters confer selectivity, in a vector-based system, their activity may be too weak to mediate detectable l...
