Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of Alzheimer's disease gene therapy and treatment. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of genetic engineering technology to construct dhcr24 Gene replication-deficient recombinant adenoviruses, and these adenoviral vectors in the future dhcr24 Application of gene transfer into cells and realization of specific overexpression of DHCR24 protein in cells such as nerve cells. The prepared recombinant adenovirus is expected to obtain positive curative effect in the gene therapy of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and diabetes. Background technique
[0002] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease with insidious onset, clinically characterized by memory and cognitive dysfunction, and is the most common type of senile dementia. Relevant experts predict that by 2025, 22 million people in the world will suffer from AD; it is also estimated that the market value of this treatment ar...
