“…These results stimulated exploration of nonviral gene transfer methods including transposon, integrase (Ortiz-Urda et al, 2003b, 2003c, and adeno-associated virus . Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (i.e., CRISPR)/Cas9-and transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN)-based gene correction methodologies have also become active areas of exploration in EB therapy (Osborn et al, 2013(Osborn et al, , 2018Webber et al, 2016). Despite these new areas of study, ex vivo retroviral therapy has remained of high interest because of the efficiency of gene transfer to primary cells.…”
